    Trump can do a lot of damage short of a coup. But in terms of an actual coup, he needs the military. Fortunately, there's excellent grounds to think he doesn't have the military. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/25/us/politics/trump-military-election.html …

        Who needs the military when you have the judges?

        How about having police forces instead of the military?

        He can pull of what would effectively be a coup with the Supreme Court. If they rule in his favor, he won't need the military.

        . Again: On the streets how much weight do many police departments, most all sheriffs, at least a few National Guards, the IIIpers, the Oath Keepers, the preppers, the Boogaloos, the Proud Boys, the Bundy militias carry? There's more here than scrambled eggs on uniforms

        . Then, you seem to have an almost shockingly naive misunderstanding of the degree of far-right indoctrination going on within the United States military at the individual level Where do you think these fascists receive their weapons training? The US is *not* Canada, remember

        If all the reaction to illegal orders is that the top generals resign, Trump will be free to appoint treasonous hacks of the Michael Flynn sort.

        how is this comforting? Even if the military refuses to intervene on anyone's behalf, the fact that it had to do that in order to maintain democracy seems to me a near-catastrophic failure.

        What if the military and law enforcement stand by and watch, as armed groups create chaos?

        Law enforcement won’t be standing by
