I disagree. What Nixon did in 1972 was an attempt at overthrowing the
constitutional government of the United States. He almost succeeded.
I consider the current administration to be an overthrow of the
constitutional United States government by a small number of highly
motivated idealogues.
The U.S. government has been overthrown. And that ain't good.
