A few months ago, I wrote that the coup is coming.
Here are comments to Steve Sailer:
* It is rapidly becoming clearer that the Constitutional system of checks and balances has broken down, leaving the President free to do largely as he or she pleases. I’ve sometimes wondered whether what might already have happened if the US military’s officer corps had remained mostly white Southerners. A future coup might well materialize among special operations forces, although I think they would need the cooperation of certain sections of NSA. Putting more blacks into special operations makes sense from a coup avoidance point of view, not from any desire to enhance effectiveness.
* I don’t think a coup is very probable but if it were to happen I doubt the ringleaders would disclose what they really thought if it meant compromising their position.
A more realistic coup is a counter long march through the institutions, but not the military per se.
