It’s not the military we need to worry about. It’s the alphabet agencies.

We’re never going to have a “hard” coup in the US. What we will have are arrests and railroadings of dissident right figures. What we will have are DNC-aligned paramilitary groups like Antifa doing the dirty work, so alphabet agencies can keep their hands clean. It’s not going to be UN blue hats in US city streets. It’s going to be alphabet agencies aligned with the Dems corporatist, globalist interests.

Especially since all my retired military associates and the vast majority of active duty military I know thinks the world of Trump and loathes the Democrat party.

In the military, I would say it is about 70/30 Trump, maybe even 80/20 in the enlisted ranks. I think that goes down quite significantly in the officer ranks since it becomes much more of a political game.

What does concern me though, is that if the orders are given, no matter how egregious or anti-constitutional; how many will follow? If one looks at law enforcement as a sample, and their willingness to exercise their authority beyond what is allowed; there is quite the willingness to just follow blindly, or even feel a superiority to the laws they are supposed to uphold. Unfortunately, most people are sheep, and will just follow orders if they come from an authority figure.

Good choice but don’t forget to stash all other ammo too. You need to stock at least one weapon of every caliber. You never know what will be available for ammo.

These guys are crazy. The extreme right parading around on capital steps and govs’ homes brandishing firearms are NOT crazy?

Everyone needs to calm the F down.

“I would love to see a complete investigation of every military person from the top down to see if they have red flags. They should be deal with appropriately. I am pretty sure the UCMJ already has laws governing this.”

As I would. Maybe we ought to have a political exam of every person in the USA. Having them define the 2nd Amendment and/or the meaning of any popular phrase and unpopular phrases of the Constitution and Bill of Rights would gather together many of those folks who are antiAmerican.

Once gathered, we could find the perfect socialist or ‘comaradely’ country and just ship them around the world with extradition orders to not allow them to return.

It’s a week early for a “Seven Days in May” fantasy.

I’m thinking Mayor Pete is full of Hertzberg.
