    We’re so far past that. We’re at the brink of the military being forced to choose between following their oaths or obeying the administration

    But sooner or later, hopefully, people will see the pattern. All the political violence is coming from the right… Every time. They just lie, every time

      Trump just had a meeting with all the generals in the military which has never happened in modern times. We are in full blown dictatorship now and he’s doing military loyalty tests.

        Well it depends, does the military fall in line or not

        After Jan 6th, the generals got together and stonewalled Trump. Since this January, the admin has been trying to punish them and thin their ranks

        But the keyword is trying. The military has been uncooperative at every turn - they’ve followed orders but refuse to menace the people.

        So far, the courts have authority, Congress (theoretically) could reign in the other branches, and we’re still having elections

        No one has actually taken the throne. They talk like they have, but no one has tried to cross the final line… They’re hoping they can get everyone to comply in advance.

        That’s the final line of defense. Will our military follow their oaths when the last line is crossed
