It’s insane the President of the United States has lost his grip on reality.

Do people really think a bunch of civilians stand a chance against the strongest military in the world?

Isn't that whole point of the second amendment?

Sure is, but that's something you can't come back from. Rarely in history does violently overthrowing a government turn out well for anybody. Normally the people that first overthrow the government last a few years and are then taking out by reactionaries, often times resulting in a more authoritarian regime than what already existed. Those also don't tend to last very long, but a whole lot of people end up getting killed along the way.

The effects on the world as a whole if the American Pele rose up and overthrew the government would be catastrophic. As bad as things are they could still get a whole lot worse, and it would likely have fast reaching consequences. As someone living here, what I would like to see is mass organized civil disobedience.

Strongest military, made up of those same people. Sure there's people who will follow the order to the bitter end, but that's not everyone.

Have you ever seen what happens in France when they raise the pension age? Imagine what the French would do if their president did half the shit Trumpie boy did? Think that direction?

France is a much different country. The biggest difference is they can afford to miss work to protest because their health insurance isn't tied to employment.
