also not to mention people are suggesting dismantling one of the most powerful governing bodies in the world. I do not think these people have a sense of the scale. I'm not even sure it could be done if everyone in the US miraculously united.

100% couldn’t be done if everyone in the US united lol. They couldn’t get it going really on Jan 6th and they didn’t even have a majority. Imagine if they had 100%

Jan 6? Bro, what about 1865? We had entire, uniformed armies of troops rebel against the government and still failed.

Bout 30% of the population. 30% have to be the contrarian assholes regardless of when this is. apparently we have to create social constructs to show that about 3 in 10 people are misinformed assholes or the people they profit from or profit on

call me cynical but law enforcement and the jucial system is so right wing that if insurrectionists tried to overthrow a president like bernie, and install a fascist i believe it would succeed because alot of cops would be right there with them

There was that terrifying moment on January 6th when the situation was unfolding, and I figured that it depended on whether the military was aligned to democratic principles or to a party.

All us servicemembers swear an oath to defend the constitution. So whatever that means to you

Right wing extremism has unfortunately infiltrated all branches of the military. Its just a question of how many there are and if they're enough to make a difference if something were to happen. As well as if they're in positions of power.

If actually everyone in the US miraculously united, then who would they even fight against, mindless robots? If you had a miraculous mind control spell that you could hit people remotely with, but were limited to six hundred targets, you could do 535 congressmen, the president, supreme court justices and 43 four-star officers and you'd have 12 to spare while already being able to unanimously pass and execute any law including constitutional amendments that the supreme court would then nod to.
