      Let’s be real, the military is going to intervene next year because its purpose isn’t to uphold the Constitution, it’s to protect the status quo as it is in every country that has one. When this all pops off into a civil war, they’ll take over whether the Posse Comitatus Act is a thing or not.

      They’re the ones with all the guns, and the ones with the guns make the rules.

      Got it. So next time there is a civil war, just wait it out.

      Would probably be easier in the long run since there wouldn’t be any pushback to celebrating slavery and treason

      If your argument is that the military would ignore insurrection then we agree. But that is not what the comment I replied to was about
