      What would you have them do? Launch a coup?

      When you have a commander-in-chief who is openly stating his intent to use our military to commit violence on american citizens?

      Absolutely fucking yes.

        I guess my thought is that should wait until actually ordered to do commit violence. Coups are very, very damaging to democracies and often beget more coups. It should only really be a last resort if civil mechanisms completely fail.

        I do understand the wish that someone could just easily removal him from power though. The man is unhinged.

      I dont know the right answer. I have no idea what i would do in that situation. These are uncertain times. Alot of americans will have to make tough decisions.

      I guess we’ll see if americans really are as brave as we think and that we love democracy as much as we claim.
