>>Don’t get me wrong. There is a point where the average American would reach for a rifle.
The “average American” is a coward, as evidenced by a couple posts in this thread. But there is a 3%, which is an army of 10 million who aren’t willing to live in socialist chains becuase “slimy but legal” processes were used to overturn an election.
The people using the slimy but legal processes are the ones who told us to ignore Obama’s irregularities becuase the integrity of the election process was more important.
You, sir, have hit the bullseye.
While I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly, the 3% paintballer panty waists here in CO won't even go to Denver armed, because it's "against the law". I figure they will be the first to turn their guns over when they, too, are "against the law".
I’m not believing that some posters here are “cowards” just because they disagree with you. I think “realists” is a better way to describe them.
Anyway, let me present two scenarios.
Scenario 1.
President Trump is removed from office by a strictly Constitutional process. The House impeaches by a majority vote, and then the Senate convicts by a 2/3 vote.
I would find that disgusting. But as much as I admire Trump, I admire the Rule of Law more. I would accept that result, then work like hell to defeat those involved at the polls.
Scenario 2.
The Democrats take back the House. Then Nancy Pelosi goes on TV, backed by a number of Obama-appointed generals and FBI officials. Pelosi announces that “as the representative of the will of the people”, she has arrested Trump and taken possession of the White House.
I’m an old guy. But in that case the deer rifle comes off the mantle. And I won’t be back home for awhile.
