A former U.S. national security adviser said over the weekend that a military coup to overthrow the U.S. government “should happen.”
Michael Flynn said at a convention in Dallas that America’s armed forces should follow the lead of those of Myanmar, who seized power after a disputed election. He was asked during a question-and-answer session at a QAnon conference by a man who said he was a Marine “I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” The QAnon crowd, some of whom have praised the Myanmar coup, cheered and Mr. Flynn, who was former President Trump’s first national security adviser

Give it time. Biden & Company have not turned the screw in far enough yet. We are a tough and resilient people, at least those of us over 50, and will choose the moment.

I understand that General Flynn retains of the scars of the persecution he endured at the hands of his own government, but this is a completely irresponsible and wrong statement on his part. No matter what one thinks about any fraudulent activity that took place in November, a coup is NOT the answer. Despite our current state, we are not Myanmar or Pakistan.

And this would be a good thing? Really, what would we get if the military took over, and how would everyone (both in the US and abroad) react to it? Be careful what you wish for.

Paywall.
The military takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. So what do they do if the civilian leadership does not upload the Constitution?

Flynn has gone totally off the rails and is doing far more harm than good to the cause.

More fake news. Flynn did not say that we should have a coup. He stated that it shouldn't happen here. But I wish he would change his mind.

No. Power to the voters. Otherwise what is the point of America. If you create this opening do you think it will stop at a one-off? Do you? Got history?

"Over 30 Million Americans Believe in QAnon’s Most Outrageous Conspiracy" A QAnon conference in Dallas? With General Flynn and Sydney Powell? Who buys this stuff?

The headline is an intentional lie.
He said, "There's no reason, I mean, it should happen here."
NO REASON IT SHOULD HAPPEN HERE.
Wash Times is a NeverTrump rag, and this is an intentional lie.

Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot? General Flynn has some well deserved gravitas and when he chose to speak at a Qanon Conference I don’t believe that was a wise choice. Agree that the people are Patriots but they are outside the mainstream whether by choice or by designation of the media. Nevertheless, it just makes sense to be very careful in this atmosphere about who you associate with because the media will use it against you. Whether the General’s words were twisted, the media still uses them as truth and the narrative is set.
I like General Flynn and Sidney Powell but they must be careful of their speech if they are serious about convincing others that the election was used as a cover for a bloodless coup d’etat which I wholeheartedly believe. The media wants to paint Patriots as dangerous terrorists and this just gives them ammunition. Now the only question General Flynn will be asked is, does he really want the military to institute a coup against this administration. This could all have been avoided had the general thought about what impact his speaking at this event would be. Anytime the left is given an opportunity to write the narrative regarding anyone on the right, you can count on it being advantageous for them. They will always paint the right as wild eyed zealots. This is another example.

Right now we need to keep looking for truth. If this election is proven to be stolen then we will talk.

More rhetoric to keep the money flowing in. Our lawyers have been doing the same thing. You are on your own. Get use to it.

This is wrong because if it happens once it will happen again, and we will be no better than a Latin American country where the generals call the shots. Not only that, it will hurt our standing in the world because our reputation for stability would be no more and investors would think twice before putting money n here. We don’t have a Captain Kirk to intervene on our behalf, so we have to have the audits of swing state elections to prove fraud, throw out the current administration and reinstate Trump, no matter the uproar it will cause from the left.

They may not look like it, but at least xiden's election and that disgusting Kenyan's second election were fraudulent; that's akin to a coup.

Some posters illustrate the problem. Because it is in the media, some people believe it. Just a conditioned response to any headline. The fact that some event or quote is distorted into a lie is blown past on the way to outrage. A perfect example of why the world is in the state it is in. Oh, and wear a mask... because they said so, not because it works.
