A coup seems farfetched, especially with Trump packing the top brass with stooges who seem less likely to push back against illegal orders. Dems might be able to insist on continued aid to Ukraine as a condition of signing off on a resolution to fund the government.

A huge number of extremely farfetched things have happened in the U.S. since 2000, especially since 2016, and even more so since late January. We certainly can't rule out military coups or civil war.
I know IтАЩm an unusual vessel for such thoughts based on my typically skeptical posting history here but things are going off the rails much, much worse than I expected and defense/intelligence establishments, especially the American one, donтАЩt usually take perceived threats lying down. I donтАЩt think a complete mil/civ breakdown would be a positive thing for liberals, quite the opposite, but imo the natural conclusion of MAGA at its current trajectory is a time for choosing, if you follow.
I especially donтАЩt think the тАЬtypesтАЭ IтАЩm talking about will be as deferential to the Musks and Yarvins of the world as they will to the White House, which at least has (for now) the trappings of constitutional legitimacy by way of the election.
But thatтАЩs enough conspiratorial rambling for one day.

I follow what you're saying.
