Duncan Jones, director of “Moon” and “Source Code” (and son of David Bowie) was looking for some input from ex-military early Tuesday morning. Seems he’s concerned about the GOP tampering with elections and the need for the military to step in and set things right.

This sounds a little bit like Hillary Clinton warning of the danger to democracy posed by the losing candidate not accepting the results of the election. But of course, if you truly believe Russia swung the election, then go ahead and fantasize.

Calling for domestic use of military against citizens, specifically your political opposition? Tyranny much? This is why we have the 2nd Amendment. #2A

Calling for domestic use of THE OATH the military took to uphold the constitution, if elections are manipulated. That unreasonable to you? If the military can pressure DC into fair hearings on election manipulation, I am ALL for that.

Coming from a region (Southeast Asia) with military juntas … Even entertaining such a notion is risking the fabric of democracy and may be counterproductive. Military top brass could be stacked with "favored" ppl in anticipation once neutrality/perception affected.

If the vote is being manipulated, there IS no democracy, and the longer it goes on, the more cronies will be awarded positions that allow accelerated theft of public rights & property.

Remember how treason was a bad thing?
Apparently it's an obligation if the Democrats are losing. https://t.co/gJsZ0p7OHW

1/20/01-1/19/09 "Dissent is highest form of patriotism"
1/20/09-1/19/17 "Dissent is treason"
1/20/17-1/19/25 "Dissent is patriotic again"— Chibi William Henry Harrison? (@TobytheBeagle1) December 13, 2017
I read the thread, and basically he is saying, "no one wants a coup" whilst also saying, "but there should be a coup". I can't even.
Also, reports of the vote count being destroyed are false. Only the digital images are destroyed while the paper is retained.— Breaking Good (@mrtechsavy) December 13, 2017
Well @ManMadeMoon, this FORMER Marine thinks you're walking a VERY thin line between free speech and treason. Tread carefully. #codeofvets

But once democracy is restored, all goes back to normal, right?

Hillary said you must trust the results of the election.
— Sen. John Blutarsky (T) (@Mongotrucker) December 12, 2017
That was said under the assumption she’d was going to win in a landslide silly…now that she didn’t, the election cannot be trusted.

Silly me.
