in a hypothetical situation where our military all got on the same page and decided to try to overthrow the government they would succeed with little resistance. this would never happen though.
There are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding January 6th and what actually happened behind the scenes. Major Walker's quick response authority at the capitol was stripped days before the protest, which was openly planned online. The Guard wasn't sent in for hours on the day of. Biden reappointed Secretary McCarthy, the man who restricted that quick response, to his post. McCarthy then resigned amid questioning. Groups were brought to the capitol with assistance from military personnel. Groups there were infiltrated by the FBI.
People think of January 6th as an attempt by Trump to retain the presidency, and many there certainly believed that's what they were doing, but I don't think it's far fetched to say letting it happen was very useful in delegitimizing him. I'm still curious what authority Trump retained from that day until he left office. Nancy Pelosi assured the public that a top general in the US military revoked his access to the nuclear codes. That's very coup adjacent for a general to overstep the commander in chief.
It wouldn’t
that's short minded. like yea it won't happen now but it could easily happen in the next 50 years

I don’t think you understand how many things would have to go right and how many people would have to be on board for a military coup to work. It’s easy in a country with a military of like 100K people but we have several million. It’s impossible.
We’re much more likely to have a domestic terrorist group than have a military coup.

okay this QAnon adjacent
They dont need to do a coup if they already are part of the ruling class
The more interesting question is what would cause a coup in the first place
Last time a coup was seriously discussed was during the wall street plot in 1933, those were bankers tho not the military
that's short minded. like yea it won't happen now but it could easily happen in the next 50 years
No
If it didn’t happen last year it ain’t happening
No
If it didn’t happen last year it ain’t happening
What about in 100 years?
All empires fall.

They already running the country
Nothing. The highest ranking people in the military are already basically politicians. Any word of a coup would immediately reach the government and anyone tied to it would immediately be thrown in prison forever.
The US military is organized by some of the smartest people on Earth. They made sure that a coup is virtually impossible decades ago.
More of the kids talking about revolution online should realise this.
Like do you really think you and your friends can overthrow a government protected by this kind of military? Focus on what you can change for now, it looks like anything that happens will be incremental

Any revolution requires some parts of the military to go along, nobody ever denied that
okay this QAnon adjacent
Every claim in that post is verifiable using mainstream sources. Don't be so incurious
