Opi, 6 Jan is very recent history and it could very well be repeated or worse and I don't know that Trump could not use the military for his own personal benefit. That is what he aspires to and if he systematically staffs with handpicked die hard supporters and yes men and women I wouldn't put anything past him.

I believe thinking "that could never happen" is being naive. The unthinkable does happen, and especially could with Trump. That is not an original thought of mine, but comes from my Dad who I have great respect for above anyone. What I may lack in historical perspective on things he fills in for me.

Interesting hearing your views as well, conservative for sure, but not extreme and based upon conspiracy theories. Respect for you too.
