View submission: What Trump Doesn’t Understand About the Military - Trump doesn’t seem to understand the arrangement that makes the U.S. both democratic and powerful.

Yes. They haven't been shy talking about it. Protestors will protest on day one, just like last time. Police will come down hard on protesters, just like last time. Trump will declare insurrection. After purging the generals, and they haven't been shy about talking about it, they will be replaced by loyalists. Now the military can be used to round up people that they don't like, like immigrants, or Democrats, or trans people, or insert any group here. At this point, we are in a fascist police state, which again, they haven't been shy talking about it.

But this is apparently what we wanted.

Antifa and BLM labels about to come back in full force! I live in the PNW and have a feeling Trump is going to punish SEA/PDX, more proud boys emboldened. Gonna be rough for a bit probably

The thing is that even if they purge the generals unlawful orders will not be followed because of how the military is structured. In basic we had an entire class on lawful and unlawful orders.

Also, in the class, the instructor told us that we would hear civilians say stuff that we wouldn't agree with, but it is their First Amendment right to say it and we will protect their right to do it.

I really hope what you say happens. But it won’t bc this isn’t what Trump said he was going to do. Just some jargon you decided to lower your mind down to believing. Who knows where you get this nonsense from. But that’s reddit, infested with morons like yourself.

It's going to be quite the trap in 2028 when the only thing that happens is epic tax cuts.

You know, just like the last time.

Jesus Christ, none of that is happening - there are perfectly fine people in the military and elsewhere that will prevent a facist state. Get out and breath some fresh air, holy fuck
