It Won’t be a Military Coup

Inauguration January 20 2020 without an audience thanks to COVID-19

Is it treason for senators and representatives to question the legitimacy of an election? No!  However, you do need provable facts.

No one likes losing an election.  There is always a winner.  All the losers have to accept the results.  That is the way our democracy functions.  If every loser claims fraud and cheating our country will fall into chaos where the ultimate winner is the person with the most power to control the results.

After a judge tossed Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert’s baseless lawsuit that challenged President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, the Trump sycophant responded by suggesting that those who live in a MAGA reality should “go to the streets” and be “violent.”

Gohmert made the dangerous remarks on the Trump-friendly “news” network Newsmax on Saturday morning while discussing his lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence that U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle dismissed on Friday.

Could Trump use the military to enforce his control? On Friday December 18, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville reiterated in a joint statement that there “is no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of an American election.”

It appears that the GOP has become a circular firing squad after L. Lin Wood, a conservative attorney and Trump ally, has rejected questions about his sanity after he tweeted that Vice President Mike Pence should face a firing squad.

If Trump is inaugurated for a second term on January 20 it won’t be a military coup.  It will be a bloodless coup.  That would signify that elections don’t count. That would be the end of the greatest democracy the world has ever known.

I will be holding my breath for the next 17 days.  Won’t you?
