If Trump declares martial law it will take the military to stop him. Will civil war erupt? Will some states use the National Guard to enforce the martial law and some will not?

Military follows the CIC unless there is someone strong enough and known enough at the top of service that he thinks he can depose the CIC. That has never happened in the USA and it won't happen now. The military will follow commands, just like they are told, and will kill us with impunity saying we are the traitors. It happened at Kent State so we already have the model of the military obeying illegal orders to kill unarmed folks, It will be armed warfare and who the fuck knows what would happen then?

But I suspect the vast majority will not. Not what they signed up for, and they have a conscience. Same with cops.

Historically only elections that are close can be successfully rigged, so lets just blow his ass outta the water by about 30 million votes

Then they can rig it so he can get 4 electoral votes!

Americans don't take to the streets like other parts of the world does.
