RE: when have you ever heard of an entire or even most of a military or police force, anywhere, telling its totalitarian government, no?

In 1986 in Manila, there was a People’s Power Revolution that forced President Ferdinand Marcos to flee the Philippines to Hawaii. The military refused to attack the protesters and military leaders stood down.

Millions of unarmed men, women and children came out in force to protest the stolen election.

It was one of the most peaceful overthrow of a leader in modern history.

Nicolae Ceausescu’s last speech.

Watch and see how quickly things can go south for that initially confident dictator.

Okay, one example.

Now, in your opinion, in reality, given the state of our nation and groups on this issue, will we see the same response occur?

My take is as close to zero chances as you can get.
