I hate to break it to you, but there will be no post-Trump revolution. Should Trump be elected, the GOP has already released their plan for what the first year of his 2nd term would look like. Essentially, kiss any semblance of a democracy goodbye. A uprising against the US government by the people? Good luck. The US government and military has thermal imaging, predator drones, nukes, and weaponry you haven't even dreamt of. If Trump has that in his possession, it's game over. A vote for a 3rd party is a vote for the popular candidate, which in this case is Trump.
I wonder if "the lesser evil" will seem so bad when Trump has removed all rights from non-white, non-male people.
People in the military are US citizens as well. They have families in the US. Do you really think the majority of the military would be ok with killing tons of US citizens just so the president can hold onto power? As a vet, I can say the military is not as militaristic as they would like you to believe.
Let's see how long that lasts once Trump starts putting his yes men in positions of power within the military. You know... Like other countries have done.
Then they make a version of the SS to keep regular army units inline...
