I took this poll to see where people's heads are. It's a bit frightening to see 50% think the military's coming to save us. They are not coming. I dare to hope can count on them to do nothing — meaning refuse an illegal order. But they will not be joining us in resisting fascism.
That's not a bad thing. You do NOT want to live in a country where the military overthrows a civilian government when it doesn't like what's happening. That would be a very dangerous thing. We should demand they refuse illegal orders. Other than that, republic saving is our job.
