Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?

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.

Have you met the Oathkeepers?

If shit goes down, assume anyone with a uniform is going to throw in with the authoritarian despot.

See I wouldn’t be to sure. There’s plenty of left leaning people who would fight to help restore the US. In the armed forces and by in large they have higher positions. Not necessarily higher as in commander positions but just non grunt ones. At least from what I hear from the friends and family I have in the various branches of the armed forces.

  Enlisted lean solidly conservative while officers are more to the center.

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 don’t issue orders your men are not going to follow.
  
  Do you feel lucky?
