(7,142 posts)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?

(23,083 posts)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?

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