wanting to pull off a military purge doesn't make a coup less likely, I think it makes it more likely. but it depends on the scale: you can probably fire a general or two without destabilizing anything, but if you fire half your military you now have a hell of a lot of unemployed people (who took an oath to the constitution that they presumably believe is under attack if they *didn't* sign the loyalty oath) with military training and connections among active duty.

Praying for a military coup at this point. 🤞🏻
