(16,886 posts)All branches of government, every department is being systematically destroyed. Whether it be the State Dept, the EPA, the agriculture dept etc...
All being destroyed and undermined and sabotaged.
An effective military needs a chain of command and respect for the rules. Now Trump is destroying that.
Even Eddie Gallagher going on FoxNews and criticizing the military and chain of command is unheard of by an active duty officer. And its being done with Trumps blessing and deliberately.
This should worry everyone. We really arent far off from being a Dictatorship.
