M Flynn suggest military in swing states....

[Spongebob]

I think Brian is actually on to something that perhaps no one else here is willing to admit. Trump has exposed the deep, festering split in our country that we've been ignoring for decades. Just as Lincoln's election forced the rift of slavery that had been there for decades to a breaking point, I believe Trump has done something similar. The chasm is there for everyone to see. The next "trump" may force it to finally break apart and I see no reason that Republican voters will return to voting habits of the George H W Bush era. Tea Party politics are replacing Lincoln Republican values and they've shown they have big numbers. I'm convinced it is just a matter of time before the US will break apart. 10 years ago I thought this might fester for another half century, but now I'm thinking any election cycle could trigger the collapse. Trump could have pulled off his coup if he had prepared for this earlier, but his own lack planning and discipline worked against him. Just look at Giuliani and Powers. If Trump had placed people this deraigned in key government and military posts months ago, he could have counted on them to do his bidding. Declaring martial law doesn't need any legal support. All it needs is a general or two who supports him and the next thing you know, there's thousands of troops marching into Georgia and he's running a new election, one where Trump wins 98% of the votes. With 74 million voters agreeing with him, he wouldn't get a ton of resistance. He would be the President again and would likely go on to a third term or install one of his brainless progeny as the first American Emperor. We've seen this movie before.
