If you have been following the news from Myanmar, just remember that could have been the US.
Everyday we get news that the military in Myanmar killed X number of people and violated human rights (Link: 1) . The world condemns the Myanmar's military's actions (Link: 2), and of course the normal reaction would be to condemn the killing of civilians.
The legitimacy of the election is no longer the concern once people are on the streets protesting. People react first before they think. Once the narrative is set, it would be hard to reverse it. You'd have riots and economic shutdown, again after COVID, think what that would do to the US.
If the Military took the power directly, there would have been violent protests. Any action taken to control the protest could have resulted in many deaths and injuries., civil war and chaos that ultimately doesn't benefit the people.
Just a perspective from an outsider.
Valid points but aren't we still faced with all these possibilities since our Constitution has been ripped apart through censorship, election stolen and the real threat of our right to bear arms being taken? Instead of the military the citizens will stand up....I think there are several lines that could be crossed where we see this happening.
Yep. Ghandi. I think Jan 6 was GEOTUS Ghandi moment. It sure scared the hell out if them, and I am NOT talking about their FAKE SET UP BREACH, I'm talking about the millions of TRUE PATRIOTS that showed up. First they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win. We are at them fighting us now, trying to take our God given rights. We will win!
I've completed the homework assignment lol....good point with MG. However, I think there are several lines that could be crossed not just the threat of taking away the right to bear arms but that definitely is one of them.
