“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

      That's a nice idea but the federal government will utterly crush them. The feds are incredibly well-armed and have all our communications tapped. Such an insurrection would be stopped as soon as it started, with all the governors arrested or drone striked.

          American war veterans who are very familiar with the high successful tactics of Iraqi and Afghani insurgents,

          Oh come on. These insurgents died like flies. The k/d ration was something like 50:1. Chuds don't have the stones for that. Not when the Xbox is calling. And how about the football pool? Or that fishing boat they've got to get out on the lake?

        with all the governors arrested or drone striked.

        As if that wouldn’t cause even more tension? That would be a complete undoing of our state vs federal system, basically a constitutional crisis.

        But before that, how much of the military do you really think is going to be loyal to Hillary Clinton? It would be a proper civil war, not a quickly crushed insurrection.

          Biden has been purging the military like a muthafucka. The rightwing nutjobs are mostly out of a job by now. The rest are getting DEI instruction every day. Take heart, the military isn't what it once was.

          Drawing the fascists out and making them strike is exactly the outcome that would be the best. They'd be crushed under the weight of sedition and treason laws and they'd fill the prisons for the next 40 years. Let's see them work for 25 cents an hour and eat disgusting food left over from Iraq 2003.

            Bullshit, there would hardly be a military left.

              They purged a lot of them with the covid vax requirement and the mandatory stand-downs for DEI training. Plus, they're having a recruitment crisis. Right-wingers are telling young men not to join. It's surreal, it sounds like what the 60s radicals were saying about the military.
