Hoo boy. January 6th-21st 2025 is going to be harrowing in DC should Trump win.
I suspect it will be harrowing when he loses too. It was last time.
At least this time he is not in charge, so it should be a lot harder to try pushing people around to subvert democracy
Hopefully harder to push around government types, I agree. But at the same time, easier to summon and unleash his mob without restraint. At that point, what else can he possibly lose?
All his supporters are gonna get killed, just like last time these dumb fucks started a civil war.
Nazis and fascists need to be eradicated every few decades.
Gonna be the least of your worries unless you live in DC. Look forward to armed take overs at every state capital and military deployments across the country (with help from our great friends in the Russian military), and murdered Democrats on every street corner should Trump win.
It will be worse than that probably
If you truly believe this you should be training with firearms. Go far enough left and you get your guns back
The military owes allegiance to the constitution not the president.
In theory a lot of things should be true.
But you're talking about a career criminal who committed crimes as president and half the country is going to vote for him to be president again.. so tell me you honestly don't think that it's going to happen
The military may have its problems but if you talk to anyone in a serious leadership position in the military they're very clearly tell you that they will support whoever is the person that is freely elected and if that is subverted it is their duty to fix it
There's some hope, but I suggest we expect the worst and prepare for it. Not because I'm some crazy tinfoil idiot .. because of the long trail of "That will never happen"'s that have happened.
I legitimately think your average soldier is generally a higher educated and better critical thinker than the fifty percent of America below the average ..
Shipmates I've talked to in the Navy, at least, would not obey any such unlawful orders. As an active duty submariner, in accordance with my oath and creed, neither would I.
Tell the CIA that.
He told the cia to get fucked I dony think they will support him.
You think that will only be the case if he wins?
He’s not doing s as well as hoped in primaries. If his base is taking notice, he has little chance with the general populace.
a lot of cry babies we have in America yup no doubt! like Dump
