Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said there is "no reason" a coup could not happen in the United States.
During a right-wing conference in Dallas called the "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" over the weekend, the former White House national security adviser was asked by someone in the audience, who identified as a " simple Marine": "Why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?"
After cheers erupted in the crowd, Flynn replied, "No reason. I mean, it should happen here."
The military seized control of Myanmar in February, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and effectively putting commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing in power while pushing disputed claims that the November election in the Southeast Asian country was fraudulent.
With junta forces cracking down on protests, more than 800 people have died in the following months, and more than 4,000 have been detained, according to the advocacy group Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s team said in February that the political crisis in Myanmar “constitutes a military coup d’etat" and called on the country's military leadership to release the heads of government "and all other detained civil society and political leaders — immediately and unconditionally."
Flynn, who was pardoned by former President Donald Trump in November after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with a Russian envoy, has pushed the notion that the 2020 election in the U.S. was fraudulent as well and in December argued Trump could use "military capabilities" and "rerun" the election in swing states.
State and federal officials have roundly disputed the claims of widespread election fraud.

I gave always liked Gen. Flynn and this is one of the reasons.
He’s trying to prepare the awareness challenged for the coming military intervention to reinstate Trump as soon as the audits show Trump won the election.
If you believe that why are you on Free Republic? You owe it to the rest of us to raise your level of awareness above that of a brick. Do you know what Vichy means? You are there dude and its unattractive.
Presumably, weeding out the local RINOs can eventually have positive effects on the State and Congressional level, at least in conservative and swing districts.
If the audits do show that Beee-don won entirely by fraud in swing states, the only thing we’re going to see is cicadas flying around, and the only thing we will hear is screaming cicadas. Beee-don is in there until at least Jan 21, 2023.
>>The coup already occurred, we lost.<<
Yep!
A discussion of a coup, encouraging one is simply traitorous.
Anyone suggesting a coup should find themselves unemployable, lose their security clearances, and scorned. Anyone that plots one or participates in one should be summarily executed in the town square.
************************************************************************************
The coup already happened and installed Biden.
Aided and abetted by politicians, courts, and election officials-traitors one and all.
Let the trials and executions begin sooner rather than later.
And by the way, That would make the action Flynn mentioned a counter-coup to restore the Republic. Not the same thing at all.
If the audits do show that Beee-don won entirely by fraud in swing states, the only thing we’re going to see is cicadas flying around, and the only thing we will hear is screaming cicadas. Beee-don is in there until at least Jan 21, 2023.

That’s doubtful - Very likely that Heels up will be installed before then. If Biden doesn’t function well during the meeting with Putin, it might even happen sooner rather than later.
Well, ma’am, kindly accept my good natured wager and FreeRepublic will benefit.
Or you could just post a short 10 second video of you crying like girl. 😆
Snorting cocaine won’t raise your level of awareness. 😆
Its time weak-kneed Republicants stopped being afraid of 'the left' and grew some balls.
Oh noes! They're having a field day, you way? Whatever shall we do?
FAKE NEWS STRIKES AGAIN:
Let me be VERY CLEAR – There is NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort.
Any reporting of any other belief by me is a boldface fabrication based on twisted reporting at a lively panel at a conference of Patriotic Americans who love this country, just as I do.
I am no stranger to media manipulating my words and therefore let me repeat my response to a question asked at the conference: There is no reason it (a coup) should happen here (in America).
We need to re-coup then...
I want my Republic back.
Yep, gotta have the foundation secure before building the “house” .
General Flynn is an admitted Life Long Democrat.
He claims except for Trump he always voted Democrat.
He even lives a a Democrat rich area in Connecticut.
He also claimed to be part of the Anons until that became unfashionable and his sister and wife sued a media outlet for even implying they were Q followers.
Even though in a now infamous video General Flynn, his close family and friends took some Anon Q oath.
So whatever Flynn is today, who knows?
At least he no longer has intel access or is involved in Government.
I don’t trust him.
I can't figure out if you're UnAmerican or just stupid.
Probly both.
