My quick review didn't find a thread on this, so my apologies if it's duplicative. But felt one was needed.
After Trump lost, his own top-ranking military commander was so worried that Trump would state a coup, that he and other military leaders formulated a plan to make sure that didn't happen.
Some incredible quotes from Milley, the man Trump appointed to head the Joint Chiefs, equating Trump and his supporters directly to Hitler and the Nazis. This ain't some partisan Dem, this is the man Trump picked to head the US military and
"They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," Milley told his deputies, according to the authors. "You can't do this without the military. You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI. We're the guys with the guns."
"This is a Reichstag moment," Milley told aides, according to the book. "The gospel of the Führer."
Ahead of a November pro-Trump "Million MAGA March" to protest the election results, Milley told aides he feared it "could be the modern American equivalent of 'brownshirts in the streets,'"
Milley told a group of senior leaders, "Here's the deal, guys: These guys are Nazis, they're boogaloo boys, they're Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II. We're going to put a ring of steel around this city and the Nazis aren't getting in."
And then Trump goes full OJ Simpson in this response to these reports:
Trump: “If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.”
And you Trumpers wanted to overthrow the legitimately elected government of the United States to keep THIS guy in power. You should be so proud!

'They're not going to f**king succeed': Top generals feared Trump would attempt a coup after election, according to new book
