Could a coup realistically happen in the U.S.?

Could our military really be compromised enough to where a coup could be initiated? Being a retired military member, I find this highly unlikely.
"Lenin’s Bolsheviks had compromised the State by compromising the military. Any real opposition was cunningly eliminated. So the coup was as easy as lifting a feather—there was no serious opposition to lift out of the way."

They are attempting a coup right now.

It already did and gave us the deep state we have now that’s trying to do it again. We just don’t know when exactly the first one took place.

Militarily, I think a coup would not be easy to accomplish. Too many military are regular every day Joe's serving their country and turning on their country isn't something they're going to take lightly.
Damn near every one of our elected politicians pull professional coups regularly.

I used to agree. Most people generally want to do the right thing. The problem you run into is if you get them believing a bunch of lies and bullshite they may be misguided on what the right thing is.

See, that's exactly what I thought. The scary thing is what is going to happen when the military consists of nothing but millennials and snowflakes?

Where have you been the last 3 and a half years?

It came very close earlier this year... The same players are still on the board...
why do you think it takes the military to make a coup happen?

Absolutely.
100%.
Say Trump wins the election. Democrats sue. Supreme Court rules election results valid. Democrats begin rioting in cities again, burn, loot, murder. Democrat Party leaders openly say they will not accept results of the election. Media defends the rioting and lawlessness while condemning Trump and the election 24/7. UN and international organizations declare the US election was not free or fair. Rioting and violence increase and spread to every Democrat run city. Police are ordered to stand down or are outright disbanded. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, deploying the military to restore order. Top military leaders refuse to follow Trump’s command to restore law and order. They tell the President no. They write opinions in the NYT and WaPo and LA Times and are praised by the media.
What then?

you seem to have a very narrow definition of a coup

Military have sworn oath to defend the constitution. Many if not Most take that seriously so even if some refused orders others would follow them and those that refused would be eventually shot.

Bingo, we are knee deep in the middle of round TWO right now. The 1st was a set-up for what is going on right now. They did not expect Hunter the Meth-head and the Great Bobu. That has them scrambling with media suppression. But the fix is in, count on it. Only thing is a Red Wave is so large they were not prepared for the numbers. Pray for that Red Wave!

Our military high brass were much more further compromised than I ever thought they could be. It would start in the academies, like every other arena. Marxism has to be vigilantly guarded against.

Nah, been going on longer than that...
Could say when Reagan was pushed to pick Bush as his running mater...
Could say it is when Nixson was forced to resign...
Could say it is Kennedy getting capped...
It was well before 2008...

NO, High Brass or not ...
About five years ago, the CIA published a white paper regarding several topics. A military coup, and orders to fire on the public.
It was claimed that up to 60% of the Police would simply walk away. The US Military and National Guard would not only walk away to the tune of approximately 70%, but would take their weapons with them.
To bring another perspective to the surface ...We had a Latin American Regional Sales Manager from Venezuela. He and I are in his office reviewing a few things on a project in Argentina. In the plate glass window two F-16's in formation go past in full view about 300 feet off the ground. I know they are headed to the Clearwater/St Pete airport for Touch and Go....Airport about two miles away from us. He suddenly went nuts "OH MY God What is happening?" "Fernando, just touch and go at the airport. "NO, NO at home it means the military is taking over the government!" "Come with me" ...we drove the two miles and parked where all the tourists park when the Goodyear Blimp comes in for football games. We sat and watched them until they finally climbed out and left ...."Now Fernando, the only thing I worry about is when we come in to land at Tampa, we come in from the south end of the Bay and land at the airport at the north end. Know what is right below you when you make that turn? McDill AFB where these hot shots fly in and out of. I am more worried about getting hit by those guys than a military coup."

I think we’re in the middle of a color revolution. They ran Biden knowing he’s a dumbass and corrupt just to get a contested election in some fashion

They have attempted a soft coup for the last 4 years.
I pray that when they attempt to employ the military, they get told to pound sand in a jail cell, but its probably 50/50 at this point.
