On November 12, 2001, a consortium of major United States news organizations conducted the Florida Ballot Project, and released a comprehensive review of all Florida ballots statewide, and determined that Al Gore won the election.
At first it was just election theft. The Republican Machine attempted to steal the election with rigged voting machines, the infamous "butterfly" ballots, and purged over 54,000 citizens from the Florida voting rolls. But that still couldn't put Bush over the top. A statewide hand recount would show Gore won the state so the Supreme Court of the United States intervened, overturned the people's decision, and handed the election to Bush.
This was when a failed attempt to steal an election became a coup d'etat. Main Stream Media went into overdrive to convince Americans this was a normal transfer of power. When was the last time you saw something that had never happened before described as -- normal? Since when does a coup d'etat go unrecognized?
Only in the United States of America.

From Wikipedia:
"A coup d'etat ... is the sudden deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment -- typically the military -- to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military."
If Kennedy's murder was a simple assassination by a "lone nut," then
the only real change would have been his replacement as prescribed by the
Presidential Succession Act. But the reversal of Kennedy's policies
started the day after his funeral. This was a coup. The country
was on a new course. And I believe all subsequent presidents after
Kennedy were made well aware of the fact that their primary job was to
support the agenda of the Military Industrial Complex of the National
Security State. The 8 millimeter Zapruder film was an effective visual
aid demonstrating what could happen if they didn't. I've always thought
there was a slight possibility every new President-elect might have been
shown a similar film from that day in Dallas -- but from a better vantage
point and shot in 35 millimeter. Y'know -- the government's good
copy.
The New York Times, the national "newspaper of record," and the most trusted man in America, Walter Cronkite, endorsed the
findings of the Warren Commission along with the rest of Main Stream
Media. To disagree -- or even find fault -- with the government's
"official" story branded one with the pejorative -- conspiracy "buff."
As Gore Vidal said...
"The New York Times is for us what Pravda was for the Soviets. ... America is a country full of conspiracy, and yet when you mention the word on television the interviewer giggles, so that people will think only nuts who believe in abduction by aliens believe in conspiracies. But don't they know they are being had? They are being lied to every day. ... Apparently, 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth."
The vast majority of Americans went about their daily routines unaware
that they now lived under a fledgling government that had only just
seized power on November 22, 1963. They celebrated the Fourth of July
as the "birthday" of their country not knowing they'd missed the mark by
187 years. But how could they know? The most trusted man in America, or
any other Main Stream journalist for that matter, never told them. And if
anyone said anything different -- why they were just a bunch of crackpots
and loonies -- y'know " conspiracy buffs.
And so it went. Every four years a presidential election was held. A
Democrat or a Republican won, the new or re-elected President was sworn
in, vowed to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and then
promptly dropped the act when he strolled into the Oval Office on his
first day on the job.
But then the historical path changed for the government in power. With
the fall of the Soviet Union came a tremendous "peace dividend." The
billions spent every year on the Cold War became overkill. What would
justify keeping military bases open for business without a Soviet threat?
The Military-Industrial Complex of the National Security State couldn't
coherently argue for increases in the defense budget. The USSR, the Enemy
that had been used to terrify a couple of generations of Americans, had
imploded and vanished like last night's bad dream. The commies in China
weren't good enough candidates to play the new boogeyman because they
were starting to make all our stuff.
The hundreds of billions of the Clinton surpluses were projected to grow
into the trillions by 2011. With the Federal Government awash with cash ... Americans might reasonably start demanding some justifiable payback in
social reinvestment. The Military-Industrial Complex of the National
Security State wasn't going to allow Al Gore and the Democrats anywhere
near that cash register. Something had to be done -- and
quickly.
The coup d'etat of 1963 established a new government that lasted until
the election theft and coup of 2000.
Meet the new boss ... He's not the same as the old boss.
The National Security State needed a pliable doofus as their front man
and someone they could trust, one of their own, to stand in the wings and
feed the doofus his lines. Enter George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. The
problem arose when the Bush/Cheney campaign machine couldn't pull off the
election theft in Florida so the Big Boys had to step in and save the
plan. And one more time the Main Stream Media played their part and told
the public, "Same As It Ever Was."
