As opposed to letting a Russian fucking imbecile become a dictator.
At least there are intelligent people in the military. Perhaps they may be the only ones who can save our society at this point.

I have this feeling it may be coming. They will go to Pence the Dense and let him know hes about to become president.

(4,858 posts)...if he ordered troops to fire on peaceful protestors? The generals should tell him to pound sand. If he goes full Hitler and tries to push the button? Then, maybe, they should restrain him until they get hold of Pence and the cabinet, and suggest--yes, that's the word I want--suggest it's 25th amendment time. Neither of these scenarios is quite a military coup, which for me means a Pinochet or Franco sitting in the Oval Office...

I'm guess I'm privileged enough to spend the next six months practicing patience, and begin rebuilding the shop in January.

(5,456 posts)That posters here would seem to prefer a DOTURD DICTATORSHIP ..to a military coup that forcibly removes the Trumptards and restores Democracy.
Sure it would be messy in the short term, but it's certainly better than the alternative.
What's that you say??
Trump declares himself dictator. Rules for xxx number of years. Dies.
Then his RETARDED FUCKING SPAWN UDAY JR takes over.
Yup, yeah, just what we need ...rather than a military coup.
