THE GOAL IS THE MILITARY.
This is the real fight because the unfuckable fascists goal is to make a loyal military!!

EXPECT ATROCITIES.
Exhibit A is firing a supremely qualified black 4 star general and former combat pilot, to replace him with a retired white 3 star general.
Every republican accusation is a confession 🤡
Or in his case the night of the 9 iron. Always the short game with this one.
IMPEACH Trump and Vance, CONVICT, and REMOVE.
Be done with this, save yourself and the country.
- colonialism to seize land for resources
- increase the amount of white people
- accelerate economic collapse
- starve/kill non-white people
Maybe it's so Trump could replace the Top Military Man with someone who WILL order troops to suppress & shoot American Civilian protesters.
Things are about to get DARK.
Trump also needs top officers who will agree to permanent martial law and to his kingship.
