Actress Sarah Silverman called for a military coup against President Trump on Wednesday night in the midst of violent riots in Berkeley, California.
In a screaming all-capital-letters tweet exhorted her almost 10 million followers to “wake up & join the resistance,” a term from World War II that anti-Trump rioters have used to define themselves.
She then outlined her preferred scenario for the violent overthrow of the legitimately elected government, still in all capital letters.
“Once the military is w us fascists get overthrown. Mad king & his handlers go bye bye,” Ms. Silverman posted.
She ended her post with four heart emojis, presumably signifying love.
WAKE UP & JOIN THE RESISTANCE. ONCE THE MILITARY IS W US FASCISTS GET OVERTHROWN. MAD KING & HIS HANDLERS GO BYE BYE❤❤❤❤ https://t.co/Y2WZbL012A
