      I want the military to refuse to follow illegal orders. That counts as standing up, and they will need those weapons to defy the ones who go along with the illegal orders.

      If that’s what it takes because no other system is doing it’s fucking job, I kinda do. Something needs to happen. This treading water shit isn’t working.

        To be fair, an unelected general seizing power from this regime does seem to be the current lesser of two evils.

      By which I take it you want to be gunned down in the street by the potus’s lackies who are “just following orders”?

      No. A military coup would not be a good thing. But when we already have guns being turned on our own people by our own government? We are pretty fucking far past things that are “good” and even just not having the national guard (soon to be mainline military) acting as the right arm of a rapist nazi.

        I have zero intentions to travel to the US until MAGA is ripped out from normal politics.

        I am not even on the same continent.

        I just wanted to make it clear, that was what you suggested.
