Americans viewing the recent failed coup attempt in Turkey as some exotic foreign news story -- the latest, violent yet hardly unusual political development to occur in a region constantly beset by turmoil -- should pause to consider that the prospect of similar instability would not be unfathomable in this country if Donald Trump were to win the presidency.

Too bad Mr. Kilpatrick was not around in 1860/61. He could of advocated a military coup against Lincoln to prevent the Civil War.
No job, no car, no family, no house, six figures of student debt and lives with aging parents on limited income.
This is the typical profile of the ‘coup army’ conscript.
An utter non-threat.
Daily Beast loony tune
Kinda fun to watch them implode until you realize that they are dangerous.
Except for the military and the vast majority of the armed public will be solidly in Trumps corner. Pipe dream.
The left is going insane.
This is right out of “snipers wanted”.
Add to that “probably does not own a gun” and also “probably has never fired a gun”. Probably has only read in a book Mao’s “power flows from the barrel of a gun”.
So the MSM isn’t satisfied with the race war they’re trying to incite, now they’re trying to “prime to pump” for a coup.
And yet no one goes to jail for sedition.
The loons are scared.
This is a good thing.
prime the pump.
I disagree sir, they like the in-breds in the Middle East have nothing to lose.
Funniest thing that I’ve read in a long time! Considering that the armed forces are mostly made up of conservatives and the same goes for gun owners, who would carry out a coup?
The Lefties live in their own special little world.
lmao... They try to outdo each other om their insanity..
Coup? OK, sounds like fun, I dare them. I triple dog dare them.
If Trump wins, I can easily see the GOP-E, the Dems, and the Media, all working together to impeach Trump over the first little controversy that pops up. No “coup” necessary.
The part of the military that has been fundamentally transformed, from all the social experimenting, culling of patriotic Americans from the ranks, from the lowest to the generals... perhaps there is a portion that would be loyal to the current regime.
Trump IS the coup! He is a political insurgent in a 3-against-1 battle. Both parties’ elites are against him, and the media is against him. Let the people speak.
The idiot, nutty liberals are the ones that would do it for sure. Notice there wasn’t one with this big eared dork Obama damaging our country for 8 years,
LA Slimes and maggot infested James Kirchick
are dog whistling for a coup with their La Raza/BLM thugs.
There are enough good armed Americans to put down any coup attempt besides the good people still in our military.
