    Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.

      Tbf, that was the case when he’s president, too.

      Our commanding officers protect the constitution, not the president or any person.
