1. I doubt if the US military will go along with it

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. The US Military takes an oath to defend the Nation against ENEMIES

Foreign or Domestic.

If that means armed militias loyal to Trump, they will lose. Any Veteran who takes up arms for Trump against this country they swore to defend at the time of their service, will be viewed as a TRAITOR. Their friends, family, neighbors will know who they are.

Of course, Trump wants a bloody Civil War that he is not prepared to fight.

3. Indeed.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. We would do nothing, but

we would be concerned and bombard our new leader with carefully worded texts and letters

6. Not to worry, I have it on good authority that the citizen militia made up of a bunch a good ole

boys will protect us against tyranny with their AR15s. They've been saying it for decades so I feel safe . . .
