        That was people. They could have bowed to the mob and declared Trump the winner. The military was actually prevented from deploying.

      When listening to american generals speak they are usually wise men who know a lot about a lot, including the constitution, racism, dictators and such. Maybe it’s the optimist in me, but I have a hard time believing they would follow Trump down that path.

        The good news is the officer corps isn’t trying to follow his illegal orders.

        The bad news is the DOJ and federal agents proved willing during the BLM protests.
