“When you have a president so obviously and blatantly twisting the military and portraying it as his military or one that supports his political beliefs, it’s a very dangerous, slippery slope” - Fred Wellman

These soldiers behind him at Fort Bragg were hand selected after extensive questioning. You can tell by the sloppy marching in his me parade on June 14th not all or even a majority support him. Very few wanted to be there.

It is amazing that the only example I can find of nearly an entire immigrant family failing to assimilate, sneering at our principles, and engaging in raw criminality for three straight generations is the Trump family. bsky.app/profile/euph...

But, for sure, his election win was *tooootally valid* right...? 🤔

I think we are already past that point, and all Americans should be wary of any military presence on civilian ground.

The MAGOP is going to DECLARE WAR ON US. Be prepared. Guns won't stop them.

Fred is absolutely correct and it's an understatement ... especially when viewing it from the bottom of that slippery slope.

I don't think it was much of an effort to Magafy the military. Any military, yes including the US one, has always been very right wing and religious. It is the nature of the military to like 'order' and wanting full obeisance.

Fred Wellman blocked me for suggesting that Fox News shouldn't be playing on military bases. "What do you think we all sit around watching Fox News all day" he quipped. I quipped back "They just paid 787 million dollars for lying about their commander" BLOCK. 😆👍

But typical of dictatorships. Note that the Republican Party is also a tool of MegaCorp and the Trump syndicate.

When MAGA says they may use military force to conquer and occupy Greenland and Panama: believe them. When MAGA says it wants to annex Canada and will crush the Canadian economy to try to do so: believe it. Fuck Trump, fuck US voters.

His second term there are a sono guardrails. None. Only sycophants and a weak Republican Party and far right radical SCOTUS that forgot what the Constitution says and means.

We'll never be able to trust our military again and we pay for their socialism under a dictator.

I think that the influence of the ultra nationalists on the military and command will depend on how long the Republicans can control Congress. Trump sees the military as a useful tool to further his ambition.
