Trump Cult Convinced Military Coup Will Put Him Back in Office

CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan ventured out to California recently and spoke to QAnon believers who are convinced Trump will be back in the White House very soon as a result of a deadly military coup that they fully support.

“This whole thing with Biden… he’s like a puppet president. The military is in charge. It’s going to be like Myanmar… The military is doing their own investigation. And at the right time, they’re going to be restoring the republic with Trump as president,” one woman said.

O’Sullivan asked other attendees if they’d like to see Biden forcefully removed from office by the military, one man replied, “Absolutely.”

In Myanmar, one woman said, “The government took over and now they redoing the election.”

but I would bet a lot of money on most of the military brass being GLAD Trump is gone and they don't have to spend time trying to placate him so that he doesn't fire them and/or take any rash actions.

and do little to no work on political campaigning the next 2 to 4 years.

I'd be happy with that outcome.

although most of his ramblings are pretty indecipherable for the most part. I ended up blocking him and only see his posts when somebody quotes him now.

Too for my taste.

Under this theory, the military is going to kill off the entire presidential chain of succession so they can reinstall a man who stole money from their budgets. Why wouldn't they just go for the gusto, shoot Trump too, and install a general as our leader?
