We cannot count on the police to stop them because a lot of them are for them. The military? The same thing. Three past generals have said that they would not count on the military to enforce the constitution. Again, too many support the militias but have to be quiet about it for now. If Trump gets to step into the White House again, it`s over for us and the democracy of this country. he will immediately declare marshall law and the cops and military will fall in line with him. Trump and his punks in the family will run this country forever. One more thing. You can add DeSantis to this also. If he wins, he will also be a dictator for life. He is only 43. So the Democrats have no choice but to stop both of them before they get to the White House. And that means we have to fight them in the streets if necessary. Will we? We will know soon.
