@sonhouse saidYeah...you and the Democrat party are going to SAVE DEMOCRACY by allowing a military takeover of America.
It is a matter of which is the lesser evil. Trump totally destroying our government V being led by a four star general who would have no such designs on our government. Pretty simple equation.
Genius thinking.
@AThousandYoung saidLOL....you mean he SAID he was a "paratrooper".......

@spruce112358 saidWell said.
Yes, if you COMPLETELY ignore both facts AND principles (can't be just one; have to ignore both) then I am sure that's what this looks like. 😆
It is not.
For most of human existence, as soon as one tribe managed to gain control of political power, another tribe started working busily to overthrow them. This is apparently the way you think. Very traditional.
But ...[text shortened]... But if a revolution did happen, it would be reasonable and appropriate. Based on our PRINCIPLES. 😆
Is it yet time for a new birth of Freedom?
Independence from Dictator Trump?
“Vive la Résistance!"
@AThousandYoung saidIf Kotkin is a scholar of Stalin and Russia, does he honestly think that Stalin and other Russian leaders were "elected fairly"?
Here is a two hour lecture by Stephen Kotkin titled “Trump and Putin - What in the World is Up?” from eight years ago when Trump won the first time:

It’s very long but if you go to 11:14 you will hear Professor Kotkin point out that Trump won fairly, that his voters were a lot of diverse people from a wide range of plac ...[text shortened]... nt speaker. He is one of the people I listen to very carefully and who greatly influences my views.
@my-king-and-i removed their quoted postAre you referring to the US military that could not in 20 years defeat a motley collection of Afghan tribesmen? 😆
And you are suggesting that that military could do well against an insurrection where the 'freedom fighters' are right among them, look exactly like them, are well-armed, and number in the hundred of millions?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
That would be SO funny! 😆 😆 😆
@Suzianne saidHe certainly doesn't think Stalin and Trump are in any way comparable!

There are a lot of right wingers and they have lots of guns and a lot of experience using them. They also make up the majority of the military.
Chucky Zito (former Hells' Angel leader) and Michael Franzese (former Cosa Nostra capo) are Trump supporters for example.
@AThousandYoung saidNo. 😆

It may not come to that, but if it does, you'll see. 😆
@Metal-Brain
That is what democrats are calling for now.
I have seen no such thing; and, I scroll threw both left-wing and right-wing news sources.
Please share some credible links; or, sit down and shut-up.
@AThousandYoung saidTrump was lawfully elected according to the Constitution.
Trump was lawfully elected according to the Constitution. He represents a huge constituency who must not be ignored. I don’t like him but I will not support abandoning democracy for military dictatorship just because I don’t like him.
Yes, it looks that way; so far.
He represents a huge constituency who must not be ignored.
I agree. However, his constituency has greatly shrank since taking office. If the election was held today, I truly believe that he would lose; by much more than he won by a few months ago.
[b] I don’t like him but I will not support abandoning democracy for military dictatorship just because I don’t like him.[b/]
I agree. However, something has to be done before it's too late. Musk-rat for -sure needs to be removed. No one voted for him and he's rummaging threw peoples private medical information along with everything else. He must go as of YESTERDAY! Period!
@spruce112358 saidHahaha yourself, there were 77 million that voted for Trump and they are mostly gun nuts, versus 71 million for Harris who are anti-gun libtards like you.

Who would win with the US military on their side against the foo-foo Democrap brigade?
