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.

“An utter non-threat”
Agreed. Right now all they do is call names, mock, shame etc...Who cares about that stuff. If/when they become the new brownshirts, that’s when they become dangerous.
If there are no statutes of limitations on this, we’ll see if Attorney General Christie can prosecute for sedition.
That seems to fit his background:

[I’m betting,on election day,the military goes in for Trump at 85%. ]
IF their voting ballots are received and actually COUNTED, then yes!
Friggin' media just can't help itself! If a coup is tried, every media outlet should be the first hit to protect the country and the protectors!!
Actually, this reveals that a lot of liberal leftists are thinking of this very thing. I have told people that there is no way they will allow Trump to take the Presidency. The leftist mentality will not be able to tolerate governance by Trump. The conservative side simply can not stomach Hillary. All hell is about to break loose.
Democrats only like democracy when it goes their way.
Fingers slower than brain...
When the right takes power we need to give them a lot to fear. The time has come that we can no longer allow them to be in America. Citizens or not.
If they are armed, that is a different ball game.
James Kirchick.....whoever that fag is....should go to a proctologist. Maybe the doctor could find Kichick’s pea size brain.
A coup would be far more likely if Hitlery Rotten Criminal were elected and continued Obummer’s plan to destroy America.
The military loves Trump, and so do the police.
“Yes. He could have.”
...it sounded like a good idea to me, too.....
Does this 'bat really think the US military would tolerate any kind of extra constitutional shenanigans by the Democrats?
Any appeal to civil war by someone on the left should take into account the fact that Americans have learned a lot about how to and how not to conduct civil wars since 1865. We've learned hard lessons from Zapata, Villa, Lenin, Franco, Mao, Castro, Ho, Bin Ladin, al Baghdadi and others. The next civil war will not be about a bunch of guys marching around in the corn fields waving flags at one another. It will be, at least in the initial stages, a leaderless insurrection featuring cruelties on a scale ISIS can barely imagine.
Let us pray the constitution stands.
I always thought that would be considered treason. What if another writer had written the same thing about Hillary? I wonder what would happen?
I am less afraid of a coup under Trump than Hillary. As long as we have 300 million guns in private hands a coup would fail. Hillary has made it her life’s mission though to take our guns.
The Times must have been tipped-off by insiders in the Obama Administration. He’s had 7 1/2 years to purge the officer corps, replace them with lesbians and introduce Leftist indoctrination programs. Apparently a coup is part of the gameplan.
Yes, perpetrated by the Chinese or Mexicans (or both) as they attack us when we're weak (That too, is a historical precedent.).
That head would look good on a stick.
I think that if the press incites someone to take out Trump, that people should go full vigilante mode on the elements in the press that incited it, and take THEM out as payback.
If they start stuff, someone should finish THEM.
