''Prior to anything resembling a civil war breaks out, I would expect military to be called in and the aforementioned cities would become mini-police-states until things are under control. The mandatory lock-downs and curfews would further enrage many people.''
What if military is also divided ?
- LinuxBender 4y agoWhat if military is also divided ? Is that happening? The few social circles I have of active duty military are only divided on the woke topics but I am not aware of that turning into mobs or riots or even affecting their ability to do their jobs. If this is occurring I am not seeing it.

Inciting a coup against a democratic republic is like threatening the local impound with a gun when they won't give you your car back. You're avoiding the agreed-upon process, and escalating the situation so far that you will never be taken seriously even if your ideas are agreeable or good. State rhetoric will always outweigh cults of personality and arguably even the free press.
