I doubt it. If Trump pulls a Pinochet, who would be the Generals to follow him? We kniw whats the military is like. Mattis. Kelly. Etc.
If history of other places is a fair guide, the traitor generals like Mattis, Kelly, Allen, etc would be arrested or vanished. And some Lt. Colonels we’ve never even heard of would become the head of the loyal elements of the military.
But we are in uncharted territory. “Here there be monsters..”
Time out. Men do not reach their late 50s, 60s, 70s even, and after a lifetime of espousing conservative values expressed as Republicanism, suddenly decide and announce support for Biden and all things liberal and Democrat. Oh they all scream out their TDS orange man bad!, but the reality is simpler - they are guilty guilty guilty and Trump is a wild card who might expose them. They know Biden is the same as them, guilty, so they believe he will protect them while CYA for himself and Oblahblah. Even the Pope put on his best umbrage to denounce Trump as another Hitler... They are all the People of the Lie, the People of the Antichrist. They will follow the Beast because their father is Satan.
If he has evidential proof of a valid coup, the Generals will follow orders.
Maybe that’s why he canned Espy and the upper echelons?
It was signed...
