I know you are to follow orders from the President, generals, etc

But in times of hardship or times of authoritarianism, would the military actually follow through with these orders?

The military seems to be aligned with the Dems and that's what I would expect in your scenario.

LOL, are you really using the election "results" as evidence of military support?

No I separated the 2 points by "In reality tho". Mostly my bad though as I tend to be a long winded writer.

Perhaps you made a typo? Both of your statements suggest that the military supports Biden, which I find extremely unlikely.

No, I do disagree with you and think in a total collapse they would follow democratic lead, because they have more power, backing and influence. The scenario you would see is Pence or Nancy as acting president claiming Trump is not president using some faux legal bullshit. Congress and scotus if needed would fall in line and the military would go along with it.

Are you new here. The election was fake. Did you not hear?

I confused the poster above in the same way. I meant to separate the two points with the "In reality though..." to not connect the mail in voting with my predictions on the military. I edited it to just make it clearer and not upset people.

Not upset by your comment. Just the election.
