13. I just can't take this as seriously....

.... as some people do. I'll just post what I wrote in another thread.

Couple of questions and observations
First, who are these trump defenders going to shoot? Their own family who may have Republicans and Democrats among them? Federal Marshals? The FBI or Secret Service? The National Guard who may be called out? How about the United States military who, after listening to the many former military leaders, I have no doubt they will perform their duty and defend the constitution. Without uniforms, or some defining marks or badges, how are they going to know who's the enemy and who is an ally among the civilian population? Just a few of the questions concerning what I personally consider to be maybe 5 to 10% wackos to deal with, and a 90 to 95% bullshit scenario.

There is a reason why Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Lawrence O'Donnell, Don Lemon, and military experts are not screaming at the top of their lungs concerning the coming crisis that a few fear-mongers are stoking. I'll take this crap seriously when the former generals and admirals, who will undoubtedly have inside information, start ringing the alarm, and tells us we have lost the military.
