I agree 💯
If my dad was alive, hed be devastated by the military not standing up for the Constitution. He was a vet of Korean War, Air Force.

I am perplexed as well that the military and the national guard are not breaking ranks and I don't know if it has to get truly violent before they do, or whether we're just fucked.

And I didn't think that all the people holding guns that were civilians were all on the other side as well ... I'm sure there's plenty of Democrats that have guns. They just haven't busted them out yet I guess.

Don't know what the real answer is, all I know is that it looks like it's going to get worse before it gets better...
