TBH liberal democracies keeping their militaries as bland bureaucracies without any aristocratic officers perhaps makes them a more subservient, middle class drone type of military. But I honestly don't know if that's just an illusion and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are legitimately a military junta one or two pacifist presidents away from being a reality.

When the damn breaks it's going to be tar and feather time in DC.

We just need a Chaerea to get things started.

I agree tbh.. you're most likely right

I just think he's going to go out like scarface as opposed to Tommy from Goodfellas

Trump’s conservative picks will impact courts for decades

We’re gonna have to throw the whole thing out. It’ll take violence. It’ll be violent whatever happens

Lol like Trump would have the balls to take a stand. I can see him rallying his fans around him in the days leading up to him being removed but when it actually came time to do something with Congress standing up to him he'd meekly go out and then declare victory after the fact like he was betrayed and robbed of the opportunity to fight for the American people. He'd never be brave enough to start a fight he'd lose. Do you think he'd ever have started his rise to power with something like the Beer Hall Putsch? Say what you want about Hitler but he had far more balls than a pampered rich boy like Trump.
