Would you support a military coup of the US Government? Even if it was short term?

Good catch. I did miss that didn't I?

But I'm riddled with contradictions, they really need to come up with a cure for that.

Glad I could give you a chuckle.

But a violence of action doesn't mean that needless bloodshed need to be involved. It just basically means swift and bold.

Kind of like when you step in between two friends who are about to fight. You grab the instigator in a bear hug, or dot his eye/fatten this lip. But in the end, it goes no further than that. You've used violence to prevent things from getting even hairier. BTW, that technique doesn't always work...

Would I trade one trigger happy Fascist for another? no.

All these goals can be achieved through non-violent means in a relatively short amount of time. The corporate machine and the banks need one thing from you. Labor. Deny them labor and they fall. It's called a general strike.

See what TPTB do and you will realize they see you as slaves.

Just technically speaking, you have a serious contradiction. If he is going to govern the country under the Constitution, that means using the Electoral College. You can't just pick and choose what you want. Whether the Electoral College is "good or bad" is another discussion. The point is that it is fundamental to the Constitution. So your "what if" scenario fails right before it gets started.

This is one part of the Constitution that is extremely outdated. I would disagree it is "fundamental" to the Constitution. Indeed, in modern practice, it's use is almost unconstitutional....as it basically negates the vote of the people.
