  • The fact that we are entering a time when a coup in the USA is a legitimate threat is so utterly terrifying.

    From at least Reagan to now diehard conservatives have laid the foundation for all of this over the course of decades and Mitch McConnell and many of the other conservatives now in dismay at this shift absolutely played a crucial role in making it all possible.

    I’ve always wondered what people in Germany felt in the 1930s. Well, now I know. I’m not saying Trump/Republicans are literal nazis and authoritarianism is inevitable but the utter chaos unfolding is reminiscent.



  • Top “generals,” plural I believe.

    edit 1: just remembered different services use different ranks, the other confirmed fire was an admiral.

    edit 2: Another general was indeed fired: Gen. James Slife

    And they’re likely getting replaced with diehard loyalists. The Joint Chiefs is already going to a MAGA if I heard correctly.

    Quoting Lenin: “There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.”

    And it’s starting to feel like there are days when centuries happen.

    If Trump genuinely, fully wants to drive the United States into authoritarianism, forcefully installing diehard loyalists in the military is one of the most crucial early steps.

    I rarely lean into conspiracy theories and we’re living in insanely complex times but this move has me genuinely worried. Hopefully, my fears turn out to be a figment of imagination.
