Is it time for a military intervention in the US?

In other third world countries, the military steps in to overthrow the dictatorship and runs the country itself or organized new and fair elections for a new government. I don’t really see what’s left of our fragile democracy ever reasserting itself. So how about all you sane people in the pentagon that trump has shit on time and time again, can you do us a solid and help us out?

How is what you are saying any different?

We HAD a fair election 6 months ago and LOST.

Figure out WHY and go win an election.

You can't defeat "fascists" by becoming a fascist yourself.

There may be nothing left but to use their playbook. One does not have to endorse nor condone it.

We need to do the work ourselves.

I can't say that it won't ever come to that, but I don't think we're even remotely close to it yet.

Terrible things are being done but we as citizens need to make ourselves heard, LOUD AND CLEAR.

Show up on 4/5.

after all, he is the Commander in Chief.

Individual States do have a defense against this, if they only understood the main purpose of the 2nd Amendment.
