The premise here is that Trump loses but refuses to back down, attempting to forcibly claim victory. If Trump legitimately wins, there is a different path. Then…
Assuming multiple systematic failures occur simultaneously, including any of: actual voter fraud, fraudulent electors, congress refusing to certify, a captured supreme court acting in favour of Trump, or actual insurrection on or before Jan 6th.
I actually expect the US Military to step in. Every member is sworn to uphold the constitution. But if the constitution has been discarded, then I’d expect them to step in to restore it.
Failing that, the US likely fractures and we leave the Republic phase.

Have you met the Oathkeepers?
If shit goes down, assume anyone with a uniform is going to throw in with the authoritarian despot.
Maybe so. But keep in mind that part of being a good officer is making sure you are not put in a position where you have to issue orders your men are not going to follow.

You are very confused regarding the rank and file vs. officers.
Maybe so. But keep in mind that part of being a good officer is making sure you are not put in a position where you have to issue orders your men are not going to follow.
Do you feel lucky?
