75. I'm not too worried about it
When The Evil Unconstitutional Federal Gummint comes in to deprive Linn County of its constitutional rights, the first thing it's going to do is send platoons of soldiers in to arrest the sheriff and his minions for Obstructing Federal Officers.
Yeah, right. Get it through your heads numb skull. Platoons of soldiers aren't going to go into Linn County or anywhere else and arrest the sheriff. You start trying that and the military will evaporate, with many soldiers taking their gear with them. Planes and drones will be sabotaged by those on the way out, and a bunch of other secure equipment will be lost or destroyed. A sizable number of the people you think you can order around won't put up with it, and they'll vanish like ghosts in the night.
Who is going to man those empty positions? You? Don't make me laugh, you wouldn't last three days in the "easy" basic training course I went through. If they get filled, it'll be gangbangers from the black and latin gangs. You'll wish for the days when you only had us to worry about when those days come.
