Some liberals have called for the military to stage a coup against Trump.

Yeah, sure, that'll happen. Go ahead and believe that.

The last time I looked at any polling data, the military was for Trump at 70% overall and 85% of the line troops.

What makes this viewpoint so incredibly obtuse is that these are the same people who spent most of the last 15 years calling the troops baby-killers, murderers, and thugs.

These are the same people that made "diversity" and "environmentalism" more important than combat efficiency over the last 8 years.

These are the same people that prosecuted service members for some ticky-tacky crap over the last 15 years, as long as those troops weren't gay or Muslim.

These were the people that tried to prosecute the Chattanooga heroes for having sidearms.

These were the people that claimed Muslim terror was "work place violence" at Fort Hood.

These were the same people that fired general officers for private disagreements with their policy; not mutiny, not disobedience, simply pointing out PRIVATELY the cons of policy potions.

These are the same people that upped operational requirements while cutting the number of troops available to perform those missions.

The same people that prosecuted a service member for stopping the rape of a child.

The same people that traded 5 known terrorists for the exchange of a known deserter.

What kind of twisted reality do these people live in where they think the people they have shit on for the last 15 years are going to suddenly break the law, abandon their oath to protect the Constitution, and jump on the liberals' side?

Do they really believe their own propaganda that troops are stupid people?

Having been both in academia and in the Marines, I can tell you flat out that the rates of stupidity and parochialism are far higher in the egghead side of that equation.

But I think that this failure to enrage with reality in this case is simply a reflection of their failure to recognize anything in which they don't believe
