Exactly what I have been talking about for months...

dammit PAY ATTENTION people! You have any idea how risky it is for them to go on the record with this?

Three retired U.S. generals warned in a chilling column Friday that another coup attempt in America in 2024 could divide the military and plunge an unprepared nation into civil war.

“With the country still as divided as ever, we must take steps to prepare for the worst,” wrote former Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton, former Brigadier Gen. Steven Anderson and former Army Major Gen. Antonio Taguba.

As the nation nears the first anniversary of the Capitol riot, the generals are “increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk,” they wrote in The Washington Post.

“In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time,” they added.

November, 2022...it could happen then.

1. So you think DOJ should be investigating the last insurrection? Maybe the Flynn's to start?

Or is DOJ worried about a split there too?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I think if the DOJ indicts trump or rudy or any of the seditionists, the media will go like this:

"But is it political?"

It isn't of course but that opens the door for the rightwing fascist media to pile on and millions of Americans to react in violence.

Having said that, if trump runs, America is over.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. If They Have Cause...

...like social media accounts etc. begin separation procedures.
We have more troops than we need. The "last war" will never be fought.

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. Oh, my other prediction is sometime between now and next Nov twitter will reinstate the traitor

and the excuse will be he has announced his candidacy, which is why he will announce it then. He is too stupid to figure this all out but kushner isnt.

When they put him back on Twitter a civil war of sorts is guaranteed. Call it unrest, whatever.

[leftstreet]

4. LOL n/t

[PTWB]

5. It is highly likely there will be violence after the next coup attempt.

If the coup fails, it will be MAGA extremists acting as domestic terror insurgents. If the coup succeeds, military and law enforcement leaders will be replaced with MAGA loyalists and the violence will be at the hands of the right wingers within their respective organizations.

[TheRealNorth]

6. That is what I fear as well...

Which is why I think people should be preparing to fight if needed. Otherwise, we will be like the Afghans waiting for someone else to come save us from the Taliban.

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. Time to put TREMENDOUS pressure on Garland and the prez to indict the folks at the top.

The reason they might not want to do that is the GUARANTEE that the media will say:

"But is it political?"

Just by asking this ridiculous question they will give credibility to fox and oann and the cons and justification for their violence.

[Turbineguy]

7. Millions may die and that's OK

just as long as we have an incompetent idiot as president who will be crowned king so his worthless spawn can inherit the throne.

[Eliot Rosewater]

16. You forgot "just as long as we can make sure all POC, Women, Gays, etc are 2nd class citizens"

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

38. That's not far enough

Replace “second class” with “re-enslavement.” That’s what their ultimate goal is. They want slavery back.

[Eliot Rosewater]

39. I used to say that years ago but I would get attacked for saying it usually so I quit.

But yes, they want to own people.

[Crowman2009]

8. It will end quickly when DFAS runs out of cash and widespread failure of utilities.

A lot of right wingers will fall hard without their meds, meth, massive amounts of food & alcohol, supplements and steroids.

[roamer65]

11. Get out of the US dollar if it starts looking like that we are heading for conflict.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. I am invested in the market, or we are. My concern used to be will the cons destroy

the market to destroy Biden, if so when do I take everything out.

Now I have to assume widespread chaos next November NO MATTER what happens between now and then.

This might be why the 5th worst human being on earth, moscow mitch, is finally singing a different tune as to Jan 6 investigation. Lots of people are going to be pressuring me NOT to get out of the market because that is what causes the problem in the first place.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. DFAS defense financing?

With 4 maybe 5 outright anti democracy traitors on the SC, they may not need to fire a shot.

[Crowman2009]

35. I must have worded it wrong, I meant to say that the traitors wanted a civil war can kiss their...

... military pay goodbye.

[captain queeg]

9. Good reason to discharge anyone refusing vaccination.

I’m sure the majority of those folks are RW groupies. You’d probably end up getting a few people with some legitimate reason to refuse, but shit can them all and sort it out later. Actually I’m sure the military is looking at requests and will accommodate those with legitimate reasons. They should require resistant people to prove they’ve had some long term medical or religious constraint.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. Good observation...

[Evolve Dammit]

10. America is not paying attention. This is very real. Thanks for this post

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Yep...fortunately the percentage of people who show their ignorance by responding with an LOL

or similar is very small now...

Most people get that this is where we are and to deny it, well at this point if you deny it I will assume such a person works for putin or rump or that movement.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. I'm amazed at how many people just act like everything is normal, fine and dandy.

[James48]

19. Stock up on ammo.

There will be little to be found when the time comes. Buy it now.

[Eliot Rosewater]

20. My feeling is far far too few people on the left have guns in the first place.

What a mess.

I am not a star member but if I were I would do a poll like this:

When, not if,do you think Twitter will reinstate trump

1. never

2. next September when he announces he is running for prez again with the excuse that they must not exclude him unless they exclude all candidates which they wont do

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Been scarce since run on it when O was elected. Depends what caliber, but it gets snatched up fast

[JohnSJ]

21. I hope the AG is getting his ducks all lined up to indict

[BlueIdaho]

22. Just how credible are these sources?

“We are chilled to our bones.” These don’t sound like the words of a general retired or not.

[lpbk2713]

23. I'm glad Limbaugh is gone.

He would be adding fuel to the fire every time he got behind a microphone.

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. Great point!

[peppertree]

24. And with more guns than people in this country...

Plus so many of them in the hands of radicals and/or psychopaths.

May this never get ugly.

[Kaleva]

27. At least in MI, the great majority of Trumpsters live in urban or mostly urban counties.

The rural areas will probably be peaceful.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. The real problem is if you have sitting House and Senate members on board with insurrection

and we do, if you have generals or admirals or commandants on board with it along with lots of rank and file, then it is all over.

You dont need a single shot fired.

[peppertree]

32. +1

This whole thing smells of a plot involving a wide swath of right-wing politics in this country - as well as some in Wall Street and Big Business generally.

Just like Hitler's and Mussolini's "rise" to power ('rise' as in 'taken up in a golden elevator').

[Kaleva]

26. What have the generals done to prepare for the coming civil war? Anything?

If they are "chilled to our bones", I imagine they have put a great deal of time and resources into preparation. But the article doesn't mention a single thing any of the three have done.

[Ohioboy]

28. I certainly hope it never comes to this

But just the fact that we are discussing this shows just how much the Orange Anus has screwed up this country.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. Yeah, remarkable that the dumbest human being alive, which any of us can prove easily

commands this much respect and loyalty.

[Ohioboy]

31. Yeah, why can't the smartest be getting the loyalty?

It doesn't make sense.

[Mad_Machine76]

36. They probably see him primarily as a vessel

For all of their racism and white privilege and supremacy. He is somebody willing to speak up for them and support them in their grievances.

[Mad_Machine76]

37. At least in 2024

The call won’t be coming from the WH

[malaise]

40. General Eaton was on Chris Hayes last night

Must see

[Eliot Rosewater]

41. Thanks

Saw part of it...bad days ahead, my friend.
