      So if a trump-like figure is elected, the military will blindly follow any atrocities they want. Which… should not be a surprise to anyone considering what we did in The Middle East for the better part of two decades.

      Yet people still think that The Military won’t get to goose stepping the moment a wannabe dictator tells them to.

      Figured it was worth repeating.

      Also especially good that we are so happy that the heroic military will sit idly by while a POTUS, who is actively trying to usurp The Constitution, tries to have the second and third in line to the position, murdered.

          Got it. So next time there is a civil war, just wait it out.

          Would probably be easier in the long run since there wouldn’t be any pushback to celebrating slavery and treason

          If your argument is that the military would ignore insurrection then we agree. But that is not what the comment I replied to was about

        • Let’s be real, the military is going to intervene next year because its purpose isn’t to uphold the Constitution, it’s to protect the status quo as it is in every country that has one. When this all pops off into a civil war, they’ll take over whether the Posse Comitatus Act is a thing or not.

          They’re the ones with all the guns, and the ones with the guns make the rules.
