Op-Ed: If Trump wins, a coup isn't impossible here in the U.S.

L.A. Times ^ | Jul 19, 2016 | James Kirchick

[Repeal 16-17]

We’re headed towards civil war.

I can't wait. Just let the Liberals fire the first shot, like Lincoln did with the South (Fort Sumter).

[hal ogen]

These nuts are truly mentally ill. They don’t really want to open Pandora’s box, do they?

[Altura Ct.]

Who is threatening who??

[euram]

We have had democrats and their media lapdogs incite riots. They have also essentially incited violence against Trump himself by labeling “another Hitler” a “Nazi” etc., we have seen numerous physical assaults against Trump supporters, we have seen vandalism of Trump supporters property, and now calls for a coup if Trump is elected. Who are the violence inciting ones, Trump and his supporters, or the media and their democrat allies?

[max americana]

“We’re headed towards civil war.”

long past due. Tom Jefferson predicted it so.

[JoSixChip]

if there is a coup against Trump it is open season on all democrats and they can be identified by their black skin.

Well that qualifies as the stupidest thing I have ever seen posted on FR.

[usurper]

the people who will elect him largely comprise the military.

And law enforcement.

[Mr. Douglas]

Yep. It reminds me of all the progressives that were convinced dubya would suspend elections and become dictator. It was ludicrous on the face of it. As is this article.

But the problem is, it is NOT ludicrous if you reverse it. That is, as is the MO of progressives, this guy is projecting.

[silverleaf]

because the media (all corporate owned and controlled) are all bureaucrats assigned to work for the political commissars of the disloyal opposition to the US Constitution

Republican elites (the vichy wing of the GOP) arcooperating because they are assured of a symbolic “opposition party” presence in the next regime, to justify the continued division of Americans by ideology

[JimSEA]

Obama is leading on this probability. Right now, they are trying to scare off potential Trump voters but I do believe Obama is actively planning to nullify any Trump win. If Clinton wins, they are going after the Bill of Rights with a passion - a first priority.

[NorthMountain]

Trump is not only patently unfit to be president, but a danger to America and the world. Voters must stop him before the military has to.

The leftist Big Media author is blatantly saying what the leftists in Big Media accuse Trump of implying. Psychologists call this "projection".

[rktman]

Hmmmm. That doesn’t sound like a threat does it? Kinda like will smiff saying that the country needs to be cleansed of Trump and Trump supporters. HAHAHAHA? Just kidding. Nothing to see here.

[Tenacious 1]

ROFL!

Here is the LA Times trying to get a “Coup” going by explaining why it should happen, how it could happen but wrapping that all up in a veil of why it CAN’T happen.

Talk about inciting a riot and confusing the LIVs!!!

[Mashood]

Why is everybody getting upset over Trumps comments? Our Constitution mandates that we get rid of commie scum like Clinton.

[phoneman08]

Eight years of Obama. Follow that by 4-8 years of Madam Clinton, and I suspect we won’t recognize the military anymore.

[Dr. Sivana]

if there is a coup against Trump it is open season on all democrats and they can be identified by their black skin.

Two of my children are black. I know plenty of white commies on college campuses. Don't live down to the left of their stereotype of us.

[Mr. Douglas]

I can’t wait. Just let the Liberals fire the first shot, like Lincoln did with the South (Fort Sumter).

Can you imagine the Bundy ranch standoff if someone started shooting? it would have been a bloodbath and there probably would not have been a BLM agent standing. That one was really scary for the Feds.

[Yo-Yo]

Threats on Trump’s life?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Looks about right for an article like this.

[Adder]

Same if Hitlery wins...

Massive unrest and a coup to remove this dangerous corrupt murderer from office.

FYLAT. [spit]
