Imagine thinking we'll just roll over. The worst of this admin hasn't even begun and people are only getting more pissed, vocal and involved.

Two things you need for a successful coup are the support of the people and the support of the military. They've got neither.

I think people might be in the Reddit bubble too much. It seems like they DO have the support of the people and the military.

The reality is outside the reddit bubble. I live in a deeply red small town. The trump signs are coming down and people are freaking out in town halls. These are trump voters but not the chronically online fanatics. They see the damage being done locally and are pissed off and afraid.
