SHOCK POLL!!: 29% Would Support Military Coup to Oust Obama and Congress
In a poll taken by YouGov, 29% of Americans would support a military style coup to remove Obama from office. 41% say they could never support such a move. While the idea of a coup is in the minority, it is statistically significant. In your lifetime, can you honestly say anywhere near that number has ever been seen. The only time I can think of that a military coup being contemplated in the United States, was early in the 1800s and was for monetary gain and power, not an oppressive government.
But perhaps it’s not as surprising as one may think. The conditions today are not much different than they were in the 1770s. Basic freedoms were denied. Religious freedom under attack. Massive taxes. The government suppressing private property rights. (EPA, BLM, DOJ, NLRB, etc etc) People were pushed to the end of their endurance until they had no choice but to take up arms.
The poll revealed other factors that contributed to such a high number willing to have the military overthrow the government. Respondents trust military officers and believe they want what’s best for America by a large margin over members of Congress, 70% to 12%. Respondents say that members of congress are more worried about what’s good for themselves versus what’s good for the country by 71%. Local politicians did a little better registering 59%.
Civil servants were trusted by respondents by 37% and police officers were rated at 55%, which I think is inappropriately low.
From the Daily Caller:
Talk of a military coup in the U.S. recently prompted renewed discussion after a professor at West Point was recently forced to resign following revelations that he authored several controversial articles. In one of those articles, titled “Alea Iacta Est: The U.S. Coup of 2017,” he argued that military officers, far from simply having the right to overthrow the government, may have a duty to do so if the federal government acts against the best interests of the country.
The odds against the US ever having a military coup is 99.9999%, but the fact that so many are willing to have one should be a warning to liberals and establishment politicians alike, as well as the people who fund them.
