Title: Nearly A Third Of Americans Could Imagine Supporting The Military Overthrowing The Federal Gov’t (43% of Republicans)

For many Americans, a coup in which the military seizes control of the federal government is starting to seem like a refreshing alternative to the existing administration, according to a new poll.

Conducted by YouGov, a new survey has found that 29 percent of Americans could imagine a scenario where they would support a military takeover in the United States. A total of 41 percent could not imagine supporting such an event. And so while the coup-supporters are still decidedly in the minority, the fact that the option polls so highly is remarkable. This translates to 70 million Americans who are potentially ready to support a coup.

The survey results revealed a clear political divide. Republicans were more than twice as likely to rate a potential coup more highly than Democrats, with the two parties polling 43 percent and 20 percent, respectively.

Part of the suspected reason for fondness towards a U.S. coup is that military officers consistently garner more public support than politicians. From the same survey, 70 percent of respondents think that officers want what’s best for America, compared to just 12 percent who think the same of members of Congress—a major disparity. In fact, 71 percent of respondents believe that members of Congress only want what’s best for themselves. Local politicians don’t fare much better at 59 percent.

While federal civil servants don’t perform as poorly as local politicians, 37 percent believe that they want what’s best for themselves, and only 22 percent think that civil servants have the best interests of the country at heart.

Police officers, in comparison, are viewed similarly to the military, though not quite as positively. A total of 55 percent of respondents think police officers want the best for the country, with 24 percent holding that these officers just want what’s good for them.

Talk of a military coup in the U.S. recently prompted renewed discussion after a professor at West Point was recently forced to resign following revelations that he authored several controversial articles. In one of those articles, titled “Alea Iacta Est: The U.S. Coup of 2017,” he argued that military officers, far from simply having the right to overthrow the government, may have a duty to do so if the federal government acts against the best interests of the country.

Alea Iacta Est

Of course, we remember these as Julius Caesar's words as he crossed the Rubicon. "The die is cast."

If things get bad enough, the people will clamor for a populist general like Gaius Julius bold enough to cross on over.

Unlikely since officers that are not part of the in-crowd are never appointed as generals, it doesn't matter how competent the officers are.

Most coups are organized by colonels not generals. The Jews are running the US into the ground. Any collection of white men will do better. The Jews will destroy the world soon enough if not stopped.

Maybe but it would take a lot of colonels and most likely one would snitch and talk so it wouldn't work for the USA.

The alternative is that 40 million Americans starve to death because we allowed the Jews to steal our pensions and savings. But even one snitch will not stop a coup. The FBI cannot go onto a military base under lock down. Anyone showing up to the front gate with a warrant would probably just be shot. If their first action was to arrest the Bankers and seize their assets to fund $20,000 in Debt Cancellation for every adult citizen not incarcerated, they would have popular support except amongst the Jews.

Those American troops were sent to Iraq by the Jews. The Jews will kill tens of millions of Americans if we do not stop them. What is your plan to end Jewish rule of America?

For everybody to do what we are here, but in all directions -- EDUCATE everybody we know and wind them up to do the same. If only enough people will do it, problem solved cheaply/peaecfully/organically. They're not going to do it, but I don't see what else there is.

Right, and they're getting stupider by the minute because of the invasion. There's no hope.

Conditions will become so bad that the military will be forced to arrest the Bankers. They can seize their assets to fund Debt Cancellation. I do have hope for the future. If that fails, there is always reincarnation. God can intervene like He did when he killed the dinosaurs.
