If Trump wins, a coup isn't impossible here in the U.S.
LA Times ^ | July 19, 2016 | James Kirchick

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.

This is NOT free speech. It is treason to advocate the overthrow of the government.

BTW! where has he been for the last 7 1/2 years as the half breed has committed one unconstitutional act after another - Fast and Furious, immigration, wars, gun running and muder in Benghazi. Guess it doesn’t count when Democrats do them.

With thugs executing police officers it’s a real possibility that someone is going to make another attempt at Trump between now and November. That English clown made a clumsy attempt that was barely reported. The left is inciting Trump hatred and someone will take the bait. I hope he’s not just relying on the government security detail to protect him.

If Trump wins, an alien invasion from the planet Xenon is certainly not impossible.

Do these people realize how silly they sound?

Here we have a new precedent, calling for overthrow of the government by the LIBERALS. Wow, that’s a new one. So, for years we have put up with the absolute evil of the leftists and if we get too loud in complaining or step over the line, the reaction is immediate. But, this guy can write about overthrowing the government and not a peep? We are indeed living in evil times.

LOL. Yet another example of a paranoid, delusional reporter using his column as a therapist’s couch.

This article is a flat out dog whistle call for the assassination of Trump. Beyond despicable.

The only thing that keeps Liberals alive in this country is the very things they keep attacking. Don’t stop them!

If they try to bring about a coup, they will find out how veterans will use their military training and 2nd amendment versus unarmed victims being slaughtered.

Too bad Mr. Kilpatrick was not around in 1860/61. He could of advocated a military coup against Lincoln to prevent the Civil War.

Yes. He could have.

The Left always projects what they would do onto the us as “fears”. If they fear a coup it’s because that’s what they would do.

Liberals would subvert democracy to make sure Trump never becomes President.

Wow.... they really do like a coup if it would keep them in power.

What they accuse their enemies of, they’ve become.

Except the military will be behind Trump, so good luck with that. More liberal fear mongering.
