Who gives a fuck, we have the military on our side. Imagine if Hillary had won?

I understand your anger. Change in society has to be build from within society itself. If it is forced, it will not last unless the force is upheld. I do not want a military state. But I have to say, the fact that people like you exist is comforting: People that are willing and eager to use arms they already own to defend strangers against the evil of the elite. The thread alone gives us leverage.

I think you'll find there are more of us than you would have thought. I'm not some nut job living off grid. I live in a middle class neighborhood. run a small business. Treat my kids right. I joined the Marines full of piss and vinegar wanting to follow in my fathers footsteps and his fathers and his fathers and my grandfather on my mothers side and his father and so on... I come from a military family and would have been a cop if the state of affairs was different. I've actually been considering joining the force now that I feel like we are going back to a country that respects their law enforcement. The corruption and quotas, coupled with a low bar set on entrance have really diminished our law enforcement community.

With all the above said, I speak for several of us when I say that we were all very afraid we were going to have to kill some of our own troops. Some of them would have refused to take action against Americans and would have followed orders they didn't agree with. The only thing we've been hoping for is a President that loves America. A commander in chief who we could all assemble behind and a Sec of Defense we would all follow into hell. We have that now. Trump isn't perfect, but anyone can see almost 40 years of him professing his love for this country and Mad Dog... Well, like I said, we would follow him into hell.

My only fear of the current white house staff would be that Mattis resigns. If that happens, I will panic and you should too.
