Was it a coup? Or a conquest?

Some here do not know the difference, yet they speak as if they do, ignorance is usually very obvious to the educated.

We're actually being very merciful to the left by letting you whine and scream every day.
Oh my, I bet everyone should be so really scared. You really have no idea who your fellow Americans are, maybe you will get a lesson in the not too distant future. We having Fun yet?

The left is obviously DWARFED by the right in terms of military/fighting capability.

Right side has all the real men, just that ALONE is a huge advantage in any conflict
Never been to Texas have ya, lots of gun totten Liberals here, I am one of them and as well trained as anyone, heck I used to teach LEO's how to shoot in Colorado and in the Military around the globe. You guys really have no idea who your fellow Americans are, years of licking up the koodaide fed to you has that effect. Be very careful what you wish for, no one is immune to war, not you, not I and not our families, war is always ugly, that is why those that have seen it first hand do not rush into it.

. Well, if these millions are also thinking a military coup, that is aimed at bestowing power on these protester types and the anti Trump brigade, is possible, even probable, I'll keep laughing. What does history teach us about military coups? If you took away that ANY such coup has had a benevolent motive of giving power to those with humanitarian motives from any history lesson, I'd say that was a very revisionist class. Uh huh, some MALE general or admiral is going to direct his forces to seize power, and is being motivated by a political faction that is bent over women's and minority rights?


In addition this faction also wants to completely gut the military, and relegate it's mission to a more "humanitarian" role, wants to throw open the country's borders, openly advocates for the cause of an enemy the military has been trained to fight, has always disdained the military in general actually, and the military is going to seize power on that factions behalf? You guys have the Joint Chiefs secretly stacked somehow? Maybe have that level of support that widely spread through the rank and file?


The idea of a military coup that supports the ideals you espouse is beyond ludicrous. Even hypothetically. So I'm going to laugh uproariously. Unabashedly. If the military actually did stage a coup in the US it wouldn't be benevolent. No military coup has ever been that way. Unless you actually relish the idea of what happened to Cuba happening here (which you might IDK) seems like a military coup would be an undesirable thing. In such a situation these protests and marches being staged would hardly be supported by the military. They would be obliterated, the leaders rounded up and immediately executed.


Honestly, you guys scare me. Far more than Trump does.

What the F are you talking about? What ideas do I espouse, can you name them? Please point out where I ever said there was going to be a military coup, or where I suggest one is needed now, or that I suggest one has ever happened here in the US. Either you are very confused or simply needed to rant, either way tell it someone that thinks you are honestly debating anything. Good Day
