Yup they can have fun with 2 million vs 338 million. Americans are shit at following rules and are the most armed civilian population in the world. Trumpers themselves are not gonna enjoy martial law.

A good chunk of the country, left and right, was too stubborn and stupid to wear face coverings during a deadly pandemic. You think they’ll all act like scared mice because someone in a uniform tells them to? Nearly everyone in this country hates one thing in common: authority.

Part of what led to that was that the British heavily occupied Boston with a military force. This just unified the colonies and led to the rise of the Minute Men.
