Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

    The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

    Some of us are a 2 hour drive from a small city, 4 from a big one. My state capital building is almost 3 hours from me.

      A generation from now, they’ll ask you why you didn’t help stop fascism and your reply with be “well grandson, it was a 3 hour drive”? That’s your excuse?

      This isn’t going to be easy! You can’t fight fascism from your couch. You have to do something to stop it. And right now all it’ll take is driving 3 hours. That won’t always be the case as they solidify their power and crack down on dissent. And you’ll sit there as the brownshirts drag people out of their homes and wish all you had to do was drive 3 hours.
