      Produce some data that argues in your favor and I’ll consider worrying. I don’t think the MAGAts can organize a militia that would rival even the DC police.

        It’s not the unorganized yokels I’m worried about, but all the Trumpers already embedded in our forces. It’s a thing for fascists to infect agencies and organizations able to legally dish out violence.

        Sorry if I’m not as confident in the institutions of the US as everybody else.

      I think Jan 6th mostly deflated that risk. The police might stir some shit but most service people have a pretty strong pride in us being a democracy. Trump has shown he doesn’t respect the democratic process and so a coup is unlikely.
