This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Trump - You are assigned to house-to-house searches and raids, security duty on detainee bus convoys, stringing wire, digging latrines, and guarding camps.
God Bless America, loser.
People elected just that...
He’s a man of the people, not an elitist like Harris… 🙄
(Like the X to #bluesky approach.)
Show the Oligarchs, people still have power.
This reminds me of the final scene in "Giant" where Hudson gets his butt kicked by the racist TX cook when he tried to defend his Mexican grandchild. Like those of us who tried to vote against it.
💙🤬💙
A bunch of private clowns would take forever and fuck it all up.
Assuming the scale will be what trump has discussed.
Upon seeing a veteran:
“Did you serve with the brownshirts rounding up immigrants for deportation?”
“No.”
“Thank you for your service.”
We know how this story goes. We need to start sheltering the vulnerable in our community centers & places of faith. We need to take back messaging and not let tyranny be spun as "the rule of law."
Organize, uplift new voices, no longer be silent
When businesses benefited from this pool of cheap (exploited) labor, there was no outcry.
The population of illegal immigrants keeps growing and somehow now it's a problem.
Mitch McConnell who had the first shot at stopping him & failed.
and
Merrick Garland for NOT doing his job in a timely manner.

Immigrants? No idea. Never seen any. What do they look like? You got a card? If I see any ill give you a call.
Democrats sat back and used Robert's rules of order when Mordor was at the gate.
Joe biden's got one month to do some executive order stuff. But he won't.
I know the military frowns upon such expansion of powers, right?
Scary times ahead.
They will never follow trumps insanity
He knows it too
He will bluster and bullshit as usual
However he will never directly challenge them
Lose the military support and lose your power
All leaders know that fact whether they like it or not
And he planned to end the unkranian war in a day
Putin has already stated trump had zero say in what happens there
Trump says things that are 100 percent bs that his culture followers eat up while the rest of us know it's all lies
The military will never follow trumps insanity
His choice for defense secretary, a fox reporter shows total disrespect for the military as an institution.
They will not follow his insanity
Military people are loyal to their commanders
It's all bluff and posturing to satisfy his Hitler wannabes!!
These are red states that have a lot of them as major parts of the workforce of major sectors.
Part of me thinks he will do some as a show... but it will be limited. The "Mexico wall" all over again.
The question is, why do Americans keep enabling him? This is what makes me ashamed of my own country.

It would weaken the lethality and command function of all the branches.
Military for domestic law enforcement? We knew it was coming but it still shocks the psyche.
Conservative ideology has a strong need to destroy the things that make our country work.
.
It might mean some high ranking officer sacrificing his career and possibly his life.
I was in the draft lottery for the Vietnam Special Military Operation so I don't necessarily think highly of the military, but Domestic Enemy is simple.
Everything will be fine.
This is all completely normal.
Nothing at all to be concerned about.

Otherwise, enjoy the ride...

A President cannot use soldiers to control civilians.
However the fear is that Trump will simply ignore the law with a tame Supreme Court plus a Republican Congress.
How long before America has a "Dear Leader"?
Yeah, you know he owns both houses in Congress, right? It's the law until it's not.
Fascist to its core & 100% based false pretenses.
They have the congress. They have the supreme court. And of course, the executive.
