(38 posts)I have not served or claim to speak with any close knowledge of military leadership. The members of the military I do know are right to hard-right politically but they are "Americans". Shitforbrains only knows how to triple down on every poor decision. More and more people will be effected and they'll begin to find their voices. I think there will be a gradual increase in civil unrest and the military will eventually be tasked to address it. Some scared private will make a mistake or a rabid magat will hear the call to "protect America" and then blood will spill. Air power, tanks and APCs are formidable but I just cannot think of our service men and women leveling American cities and spraying bullets into protesters. Tragedies will happen but ultimately, I have faith that the military as a whole will not comply. This is when some in the police and militias would gleefully take their place to do the dirty work. Shitforbrains has already begun laying the groundwork for that.
I believe that we are more easily manipulated now than ever before. Our media is corrupt. Guardrails weakened. Everything about our lives is in a database somewhere. If they can't find something deemed treasonous, they'll make something up. This is what terrifies me about Musk and the government's complete surrender to DOGE. All it takes is a few strategic clicks and our fragile normal lives can be turned upside down. As the richest man in the world, why exactly is he spending his time on this endeavor? What is the endgame? As crazy as it sounds, I think having that much money gets boring after a while and he craves raw power of a new aristocracy.
Wrap your brains around the unthinkable and maybe you have a chance when it comes to your doorstep.
