Big hill to climb after giving them a military and government, but agreed.
Power is where people believe it is.
No one really "controls" a military or government, at every step of the chain people can disagree. And when they do, it doesn't always shake out the way people expect.
I was threatened with a mutinity charge in the Navy, but I stood by my position and like five people didn't get demoted over some bullshit that wasn't their fault.
If I'd have backed down, they'd have been fucked because they were the fall guys.
If trump tries to sic the US government on citizens or blue states, don't expect everyone to just follow orders, even if the people at the very top do. They're still the ones sitting at desks.
Look at South Korea, president tried to pull a coup and basically everyone told him to fuck off. Didn't matter that he was in charge of the military and government
So there is a chance!
There's always a chance...
Up to the point of Terminator robot soldiers, then we're fucked.
By the time we get those, we need to have our shit sorted out.
