The Alternate Histoween 🎃 @althistorian.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Not psyched about how many Americans would be cool with a military coup.Jack@jtenroon.bsky.socialThis is frying me 146914
Chris Alexander @chrisalexander.bsky.social · 21/09/2026yeah, but military coups are part of the broader pan-American (as in the Americas) tradition. We are merely late to the party. 020
Sean Massey @seanmassey.net · 21/09/2026Me, the progressive lib: It’s not ideal, but it could work. Me, the person who’s read a little bit of Roman history: Oh, that’s terrifying. 0120
nomentantum.bsky.social @nomentantum.bsky.social · 22/09/2026We’ve already had an attempted coup, and now we have a self-coup in the making. What’s another? 000

jaoswald.bsky.social @jaoswald.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I think there are two big discounts: 1. At this point, he was impeached twice and just came back for more, i.e. *nothing else will get him out of office* 2. If guys at the Pentagon think he has gone too far, it's because he asked them to use nukes. It ain't like they overthrew President AOC. 000
the wizard @arkayn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I think that result is probably picking up a lot of folks who aren’t really projecting out to the implications of that past “he’s gone?”. You can’t easily unfuck the peaceful transfer of power. 050
Benjamin Franklinstein @mitchellg657.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If it was good enough for Egypt it's good enough for us! I'm being handed a message. 050
Era Vulgaris @austinlawhead.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I dunno man, tree of liberty getting mighty thirsty 010
The Alternate Histoween 🎃 @althistorian.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sorry but considering how pro-MAGA many aspects of the military (including the officers) is I don't think we get a good ending even if Trump is gone. 1280
Edmund Paton Walsh @edmundpw.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Am I the only bothered about why there are only four scenarios listed when the question says five? 100
The Pines @thepines.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Hmmm. I mean I get what you're saying here but what with all the lawbreaking and corruption and possible or probably working with Russia stuff I dunno I guess I get it. 110
Sean McKnight @ynot1989.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I think the text of this is: Most Americans don't care how he goes, they just want him gone. 1140
Yakety Sax Moment @yaketysaxmoment.bsky.social · 21/09/2026“To safeguard the Constitution” is a phrase any coup would use along with ”and to preserve law and order”. Then something about the “temporary” suspension of certain civil rights until this crisis passes and secure elections can be held. This is all Coup 101 stuff you learn at Coup School. 140
