Comments by "Al Loomis" (@alloomis1635) on "Trump's Next Military Coup Could Happen Here!" video.
there won't be a coup for awhile, because it's been a long time since it's been necessary. the generals and the munitions investors already get a giant slice of the national cake, and most are sane enough not to ring the goose's neck. it's not a stable situation, but the plutocrats are, mostly, aware that inviting generals to step to the front didn't work, back in the 30's. there is also the possibility the wrong general might win the baton. there are potential 'hugo chaves' figures in the u.s. military. i could see tulsi riding into town in a weapons carrier about 10 years from now. most likely in a saddle on a lazer-mounted drone tiger. with about 50,000 others, all controlled from her secret base on a pacific island.

and no, bernie ain't gonna save you, even if elected. the nation is gutted, already. fdr was the last chance, and he wasn't up to it.

the rich are masters of the usa, and always have been. it was madison's intent to keep military rule at bay by maintaining a small army, and arming state militias as a counter-force. very sensible. but time marches on, and this aspect of his genuinely clever blueprint for plutocracy has failed. ww1 and then ww2 created in insatiable taste for 'war' as a device to transfer taxes to munitions share-holders. since internal economy is stagnant and rotting, only 'war' is a stable cash cow for the rich. the consequence has usually been military take-over, as soon as the the rich leave with the remaining cash. not long now.
