and only a relatively few have been disappeared?
We haven't faced food rationing, millions disappeared, and years of unfathomable trauma yet.
We're relatively healthy, strong, and not as wounded as we may soon become.
I'm not advocating this but is there a mindset that says "bring on the inevitable" and rip the bandaid off.

They are trying to bait us and after something minor -
they'll impose the Insurrection Act.
It's unclear whether the military will honor their oath.

(7,909 posts)Hes sending the military onto the streets. Its inevitable now.
Better to get the rebellion going before he purges even more people of conscience in the military, DOJ, and the judiciary.
Hes failed to consolidate power for making this run on an authoritarian regime. Its only going to get harder as more time passes.

Gavin Newsom stood up to him, leading the way for others.
Our job is to connect the dots, call the coup out for what it is, so that everyone can see clearly.
It has been entirely predictable. Those who caved were beaten for even more.
The bully is bullshit. A bully until he gets the shit kicked out of him.

(3,181 posts)The military no longer takes in the best, if they ever did. They've been complaining for years about how it's been getting harder and harder to meet recruitment quotas given the opportunities the people have in the job markets these days.
The only people who look to the military for employment are those who lack the capability or competency for any other job, and those who value loyalty over morality - The kinds of people who, historically, "Just follow orders."
