Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Ā® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election ā€œdecided by ballots rather than bulletsā€ if former President Trump doesnā€™t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.

In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former presidentā€™s orbit.

ā€œIf these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,ā€ Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.

Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying ā€œto make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024ā€³ and ā€œto destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.ā€ He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are ā€œconspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.ā€

    The military is also really split along certain lines when it comes to D vs R. Higher ranks tend to have more education and some vote along their education lines. More junior people seem to follow point of entry political lines (which for many is admittedly the south but not all).

      Thereā€™s the observation that younger people are much more likely to be liberal. Which explains why the military voted Democratic. And the more educated wing of the military are more Democratic. Essentially, the military is arguably increasingly liberal over time.

        Veterans are also more likely to learn left. Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s cause of what we saw, or because half the wannabe Rambo types got themselves killed, but the majority of people who survived tend to go left.

      The senior officer corps of the US military despises Trump, for obvious reasons.
