Trump pissed off all the higher ups at the military.
And what would they do anyways? Start overturning jury results they don't like? That's effectively military rule, and they know that'd just end in disaster.

Absolutely true, but the vast bulk of the military lean Trumpy, and the generals will sort themselves out based on their self interests. > And what would they do anyways?

It's weird how you can talk about a military coup as if it's an impossibility that has never ever happened. What's never happened is the US indicting a president, and in this case it's arresting the frontrunner in the next election on an extremely shaky premise that most people I've encountered have trouble explaining clearly.
- nitwit005 4y agoThe thing about coups is they require groundwork. Trump hasn't done any of it. Support of military leadership is pretty key, for obvious reasons. They can attempt a coup regardless. It'll just end up being an embarrassing disaster, which is pretty much what happened on Jan 6th.
