Yeah, of course not. And there are just huge number of steps between "Trump hoping that happens" and such an order actually getting to people with rifles in their hands. That requires a ton of things to go wrong first. (Sure, a lot of things have gone wrong! But MORE things!)

But then, all the JAGs too?
This is overt preparation for using the military to (brutally) put down protests in American cities this spring and summer.
The National Guard was never ordered to fire on the Kent State kids, and yet ...
And a significant fraction of our Army is MAGA.
Not a majority, I believe.
But Fox "News" plays all day on every military base.
Those people are gone :(

He’s clearly going to order the military to handle illegal immigrants. And then he’ll turn it on anyone who refuses to go along with his fascist bullshit.
This is a BAD situation.
Which, if I were a Nazi, I would probably do on 28 February, the anniversary of the Reichstag Fire Decree.
That the military being too small to control the whole country is a reassuring idea and I'm going to try very hard to believe that something being impossible will prevent Trump from trying it.
the top lawyers in every military branch need to be corrupt/unqualified loyalists if he wants to get rid of all push-back
And I guess maybe they haven’t thought that far ahead. Just wanna be proactive about the crimes.
