A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

    He’s spent $70 million on ICE to stockpile weapons of all sorts.. He doesn’t need the Generals, and if stereotypes of what we have in the military are correct, they’re right wingers or interested in preserving their paychecks and positions, so they’ll be active supporters or just let it happen. I think getting any of them to engage in organized military action to preserve the constitution against trump is less than a 20% chance.

      Maybe he has a lot of guns, but how does 1 guided missile stand up to an Air Force of F-35s?

      they’re right wingers or interested in preserving their paychecks and positions

      They don’t even have that right now.

        There won’t be a pitched battle. It will be generals stepping up with the threat of it and forcing congress to remove trump, or physically rejecting his leadership with declarative statements and refusing his command. If that doesn’t happen, nothing will happen.
