View submission: Massive firings and “retirements”
It's not the government that I'm worried about, it's all the militia and hate groups out there
Unless they turn into the Fire Nation and launch a surprise attack, they should be of less concern than the government imho. Aggressors typically need around 3x the force size as the defenders in armed conflict in order to be successful. I can't claim to know the voting choices of all of my friends and family, but there isn't a single open-Trumper amongst us. There are, however, quite a bit of gun owners.
Even combined, the hate groups wouldn't outnumber the rest of the country. And it's very likely that disagreement/division from the hate groups will lead to splintering and hostilities amongst themselves. Especially when you remember that they are emotionally charged and irrational people.
We do have precedent in this country of government authorities ordering planes to firebomb civilian population centers, however. Trump amassing enough loyalists in the military to do that is the bigger threat, as small of a probability as even *that* is.
There's nothing here!
