    The monopoly on violence for the most part comes from the military, so the choice they have is a military coup. Problem is he’s stacked the military with loyalists. But also what you said.

      I mean this is actually what the second amendment was for, it would be nice if the NRA said something.

      If you go left enough you get your guns back.

      He stacked military leadership with loyalists. It’s still each and every individual soldiers responsibility to determine for themselves whether they will follow an order if they believe it to be unjust. Many in the military are Maga, but there will be many that would refuse such orders as well… Basically, I’m just trying to say the military isn’t a hivemind. If orders came down to attack us citizens, I’d hope there’d be significant pushback throughout the ranks.

        Refuse an order, get court martialled despite all your rights, get dishobourably discharged and lose your livelihood, all for some people you dont know, and greatly negatively affect the lives of those you provide for.
