I guess the most substantial thing I can think of would be who the military would side with. Would generals see the need to fight against those even at home who attack the constitution? The main question would be, “Who is the president?” I’m thankful that it appears to be going smoothly with the electoral votes today. I know the media and democrats (but I repeat myself) will continue the offensive and try to make it seem like Trump wasn’t really elected or that he doesn’t have a mandate. All we need is for enough people to see past them.

It is really hard to say. The best option would be for the military to stay out of it all together and see what happens. Federal law prohibits them from taking up arms in this country (Posse Comitatus) but I suppose a Presidential emergency order of martial law could bypass that. But from a practical standpoint, there are only enough active duty and even reserve capacities to deal with urban areas. There are just not enough of them to blanket this country without doing some really serious damage using sophisticated weaponry.
