    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
