Well I'd like to believe that, but for every competent person he fires, he replaces them with a loyalist and he hasn't had a problem finding people to serve in his cult. Look at ICE. His own personal gestapo. The military follows orders. They demonstrated that when they reported for duty in Democratic states. Also think of the monumental consequences of disobeying an order.
I hope your right. If they don't find a way to stop the election, they will get trounced.
