ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    I believe, if we get to that point, a large portion of the military will be on our side. There are still a lot of good people in the military that, if it’s turned inward, won’t follow those unlawful orders.

    I also had hope that Trump wouldn’t have won the election though, so this could be wrong.

      They definitely won’t be on your side. Of course some will have qualms about carrying out those orders against their own people, but for various psychological reasons, they’ll go along. The best chance is if the military leadership refuses to give the unlawful orders to their troops.

        Yeah, a lot of the leadership wouldn’t follow that order is what I was implying. The grunts would then have to decide who’s orders are valid and figure out what side they’re on.

        If Trump uses the military on citizens, I’m reasonably confident that’s the start of US Civil War II.

          Yeah I hope they wouldn’t. Maybe they’ll try to resist it for a while but they’re choosing between following orders and losing their career at best and possibly more extreme retribution from trump at worst.
