View submission: If a U.S. president attempted to dismantle democracy or impose authoritarian rule, how would the military likely respond? Would they prioritize their oath to the Constitution or follow orders from leadership?

A lot of them are zero information voters. I know a few from work. They rarely vote. If they do it is only for president. They are completely unaware of their local government, have almost zero knowledge of how the federal government works. They may know the name of their own governor, and they may not. They just work and pay bills and raise their kids.

One girl who voted for Trump had never even heard of J6th. She just knew things are expensive and Biden is president. That's it. Those were her two points of fact. Would she support all the racist, sexist, murderous shit Trump is doing? No, she has no idea. She didn't even know he was planning on deporting people.

There is something deeply wrong with how information is processed in this country if you know a girl who didn't know this.
