TYT: Almost Half Of Republicans Support A Military Coup

[WhoIsNumberNone]

New poll out from YouGov that is even more concerning than some of the other crazy polls we’ve covered recently. How many people in this country would be in favor of a military coup? The answer may surprise you… Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"29% of Americans could imagine a situation in which they would support the military seizing control of the federal government, while 41% could not imagine such a situation.

Republicans (43%) are more than twice as likely as Democrats (20%) to say that they could conceive of a situation in which they would support a military coup in the United States. Independents tend to say that they could not (38%) rather than could (29%) imagine supporting a coup.”*

2. I don't think supporing a military coup is the same as imagining a scenario in which one would.

I can imagine a situation in which the military might be the only state institution that maintained its organizational integrity; for instance, after some major disaster or war occurred. Being able to "conceive" of a scenario is very different assessing actual, present time conditions. I don't think this survey provides a very useful metric.

4. Part of the Right Wing worship of the military.....

They have visions of dragging Pelosi in front of a firing squad.

6. The Military GETS FREE MONEY. They DON'T EARN or BUILD ANYTHING without

taxpayers' hard -earned money.

Republicans can't run a good economy when it's handed to them on a plate.

Wall St. and Big Banks wouldn't like that one bit.
