I have seen here and the news ( NOT FOX AND THAT TYPE ) that a large amount of our military voted for the dictator. I do hope I am wrong because I would really like to think when it comes down to it they are on "we the people's" side. I just have this feeling dictator is going to establish something resembling martial law ( except not legal ) and I truly wonder if our military is going to do what is right and say no. I realize there are those in the military who oppose him ( I know some ) but are there enough? ) I call what I see and compare it with the history of other dictators...I am really scared.
