The Democrats are wargaming how to steal the 2020 election, and after Grandpa Badfinger selected Lady Mac (Willie) Brown, their last best hope seems to be the military marching in and removing Donald Trump from the White House after he wins and they refuse to accept the election results. But will the military actually do the bidding of the coterie of Marxist Muppet masters with their fingers, ironically, up inside Joe Biden like he is a crusty, senile Kermit?
Which he is, except the real Mr. Miss Piggy isn’t a manifestly mentally incompetent socialist Trojan Frog.

You are part of the problem, or part of the solution. Remember, "...the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants..."
We are willing. Are you?

Where has our country gone? God is surely judging US. We're all sinners, but God's judgment of our nation is born out of leftist policies that have all but destroyed US. And, they think they're winning.

We have some generals and admirals that have some very bizarre left wing ideas. The military needs to be purged of Obama generals and admirals. The military manuals need to be purged of muslim, diversity, and leftist ideology. The left has destroyed the education system, the free press, and is infecting and ruining the military.

Well, THAT was encouraging! Just what I needed to read on my brand new day!
I now believe a joke like “Lieutenant Colonel” Vindman is actually typical of the military top brass we have in this country.
All Communist dictatorships have their militaries to back them up.
This is the Democrat Party’s plan for November 4.
We MUST have a Trump landslide so there’s no doubt who would be the winner!

The military will become a quagmire like every other large government agency. Tribal chieftains clutching power within their own spheres. Only well-organized militias will offer hope, just like in 1776.

The question is not whether the military will side with the Democrats but whether the public will stand for the military usurping a Trump victory. There is no doubt that we have the most powerful military in the world but it cannot stand against a enraged citizenry in a gorilla fight on US soil. The conflict would not be force against force but a demoralized active service US military against a decentralized group of retired servicemen, law enforcement, and American citizens with guns. The longer the conflict continued the more disgruntled the enlisted troops would become and the more ordinary citizens would consider joining the fight.
The linked map shows where are military servicemen come from. Boys from Georgia, South and North Carolina, Florida, Texas and other southern states are not going to side with their officers against US citizens and the Constitution.

The young rank and file in the military come from the same brainwashed society as everybody else. The leadership at the highest levels has been fundamentally transformed by Obama to maximize loyalty to the next soviet experiment turning their backs on the American experiment in liberty.
Intertwined with that are big numbers of real patriots. I don't expect the military to go either direction without major divisions. If we want our military on our side the best thing we can possible do is to make the foreign aspects of the communist revolution as well known as we possibly can. When they see that foreign boots are on our shores that will help tilt the military to the patriot side.

most of the generals and admirals on active duty today, were junior officers in Dollar Bill Clinton's military. The fat faced lt. col. ukranian went to west Point during Dollar Bill's military, along with his twin. (Vindman, not Clinton.)
In order to move up the ranks, those junipor officers had to conform to Dollar Bill and Lady Lucifer's hatred of them.
Dollar Bill's loathing of the military continues to bear poisoned fruit. They wear stars now.

IMHO the answer will be found in the ratio of Schlichters to Vindmans. It's obvious why zero worked so hard---and effectively!---to neuter the General Staff.

West Point- West Point!- has been infiltrated and taken over by Marxist. What do you think? The military will NOT side with the American People. It will turn it's weapons on US. Prayer is all we have left.

The military has plenty of self-centered careerists who will pretend their oath was to those in power not to the Constitution. We have already seen the same in our Dem-city, public-union police forces. I admire those who are resigning however save-their-own arses it might be.

When anyone enlists in the military they take an oath to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies. They also swear to obey the lawful orders of their superiors. There are thousands, maybe millions, of Oath Takers who remember that to which they have sworn and believe that they can never be released from said oath. Anyone in the military, or veterans, who make war against American Citizens would be following unlawful orders and breaking their enlistment oath.
There's your potential for real violence in the streets. I hope Kurt is wrong about the military leadership.
The core values of the US Air Force are Integrity first, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do.
The core values of the US Army are Loyalty (to the Constitution), Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage.
The core values of the US Navy and Marine Corps are Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
The core values of the US Coast Guard are Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. Integrity is our standard.

Forget the military. I highly suggest you count on God, first and foremost, and then surround yourself with like minded Patriots. Do not depend on the government for anything, nothing, nada. If you want freedom, then you must earn it. You, not those in power. Living the good life is easy. Just surround yourself with God, loved ones and the open fields of the country-side. It isn't rocket science.

I just keep remembering Ruby Ridge, Kent State, the Branch Davidians in Waco and a young Cuban named Elian Gonzales. And I see a lot of police nation wide, arresting people who disobey the orders of their dictatorial governors and mayors. It's not encouraging.

"because Trump’s margin of victory is so great"
Yup. That's why we need to keep working to overwhelm the dems/Left/media so that the victory is absolute and irrefutable.
The military is controlled by civilian, political control. They try to get along because they know that a ticked off Congress could decimate their budget and that would lead to a RIF that would eliminate many leadership positions, some achieved through decades of effort. The first rule is to placate the pols.

The left has been subverting the military just like everything else.
Here in Florida, the democrats have been running commercials about how our military is warning about global warming, but Trump won't listen to them. Would the military side with the left? At least some of them will. Hopefully not a majority.

I can see a reverse Seven Days In May scenario orchestrated by the DemoRATS happening.

Once someone is out of 'the ranks' and they have a military career ahead of them they're no longer soldiers - they're politicians. Just like any civilian corporate job. Think tenured professors.

Unionize the military and they'll side with leftist tyranny. You know? Just like a lot of the unionized police forces. Start with the San Jose police in 2016 who stood around with their thumbs up their back sides as a Trump supporting woman was attacked and egged.

Silly question. Should any Generals decide to ally themselves with the socialists/Marxists, subordinate officers and enlisted men would disobey. Why? The vast majority of military people support the President. Also, because a military person is not required to obey an unlawful order, which participation in a coup attempt would be.
Besides, General officers would be aware that participation in a coup would land them in Leavenworth military prison- at the least! They would also know that such a coup would fail.

Unfortunately he’s right, I’ve been thinking the same thing. As Dennis Prager says, the left ruins everything it touches. So here we are, and I’m afraid this scenario is not only NOT far-fetched, it is somewhat likely.

Scary stuff. I tend to think that a LOT of the states in the midwest and south would have their National Guard troops and all their war machines come over to the side of patriots.
But, on the Left Coast, and NE states - I think there would be a lot of Nat Guard going with the leftists. And probably the Pentagon folks would go 60-75% for whoever was pretending to be 'in charge'.
I really hope we don't go there.
Here is a thought. Think hard on it. Suppose you are an armed patriot. Suppose Old Camel Face declares herself President after a cluster-eff at the polls, and suppose that there are police and maybe military trying 'enforce order' and maybe even declare martial law, and maybe they start confiscating guns. This is the stuff of nighmares, and I hope we never get there. BUT......
What exactly are you willing and prepared to do? How far would you go to uphold the Constitution? Only voting or more? I am not sure I know the answer for myself, but it is a scary and important question.

I love and respect Kurt, but sometimes he is just too cute by half with his word salads. Step away from the salads for awhile Kurt, for you are losing some of your readers.
