A Military Coup in the U.S.?
    #22218392 - 09/10/15 07:33 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

A Surprising Number of Americans Might Support One

Quote:

Imagine you’re watching the evening news, kicking back after a long day in the cubicle. Suddenly a breaking news alert flashes across the screen: “Military Coup Overthrows the Government.” What would be your reaction?

While most Americans say they can’t imagine supporting a takeover of the government by the armed forces, or least aren’t sure about it, a substantial number of people say they can imagine supporting the military in such a scenario.

In a new survey by YouGov, 29 percent of respondents said they can imagine a situation in which they would support the military taking control of the federal government – that translates into over 70 million American adults. Forty-one percent of respondents said could not imagine supporting the military taking over the country.

Related: With $8.5 Trillion Unaccounted for, Why should Congress Increase the Defense Budget?

Republicans (43 percent) were more likely to say they can envision a scenario in which they could support a military coup than Democrats (20 percent). Perhaps that difference is related to having a Democratic president who some critics on the right see as overstepping his power.

Regardless of political ideology, one reason people might support a military coup is because they respect officers in the military far more than they do people in Congress. According to the same YouGov survey, almost three-quarters (70 percent) of respondents believe that military officers want what is best for the country, while only 29 percent think the same of members of Congress.

Lawmakers better shape up or they might be shipped out -- literally.




Thoughts? I woner how they got those percentages and how accurate they are :eek:

I'm sure the powers that be have plan for this scenario.

I am sure as well, I have always feared some sort of military dictatorship forming here from all the corruption though.

What would become of the banks and corporations who are currently pulling the strings? Would the global elite buy off the Generals, or fund other armies to invade amidst the chaos?

It's gotta be the right guy, we can't have no mousillini or stalin type running :lol:

And honestly - who in America could be a good dictator?

Not a single person I can think of is up to that task.

Maybe Morgan Freeman, and he probably doesn't know that much about being numero uno

Civilian leadership is a core value of mine. But I might support a coup depending on the circumstances being extreme enough. If we had a maniac leader trying a preemptive nuke strike on an a nation that there was no hope of avoiding a retaliatory strike from for example. And if they returned power to civilians through a new election it could save the world without impeding liberty for very long. Barring the removal of such a maniac I can't think of any reason to support the military in overthrowing civilian leadership. Long term military dictatorship would induce me to leave the country I lived in for greener pastures.

This basically sums it up for me, I already am tempted to move and travel to find my greener pastures :lol: that would be the end.

Well if it wasn't a military coup I would be excited too, but its hard to say what is more corrupt.

Our government or military, I am sure it is all tied together anyways.

Will do, I am pretty baked and distracted by music so don't hold your breath. But I probably will get around to it eventually.

This album called One Live Badger is just so :vibin: :lol:
