34. Policing and the military only survive when the majority of people follow the rule of law.

Mar 2019

Trump is alluding to sedition, where he violated laws and expect the military and police to back him up, if that DOES happen, then the military and police no longer have the rule of law as a shield, the smart members of each of those groups understand what will happen in such a situation, anarchy.

I wouldn't be so sure about the military or law enforcement! atreides1 Mar 2019 #1
