Is it possible that America's greatest hope is in a violent coup d'etat?

I mean Donald Trump is literally a white-supremacist, nationalistic, authoritarian dictator. His Administration has literally engaged in concentration camps on American soil, discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals, racial profiling and persecution, severe immisration laws, and even police beatings.<br><br>Sure, some may argue that he still has a modicum of democratic power, in the sense that Americans can still vote for whoever they want to replace him after his second term in 2024. However, it is evident that he has been in breach of "separation of powers" for a long time and has slowly grasped power from both the House and the Senate.<br><br>Now, since an authoritarian government literally never gives up power willingly, shouldn't we look towards a coup d'etat? It would be a last resort, and would have enormous repercussions, but if anything I think it's worth it to protect American democracy, values, and institutions.<br><br>The last thing we need to worry about is the "morality" of such a move, since if nothing else, the cause of protecting democracy and national values would morally justify such a coup.<br><br>Obviously, a peaceful coup would be the best course of action, but I highly doubt Trump would go down without a fight. Perhaps a civil war is inevitable?<br><br>Thoughts?
