He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them.
They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Shooting people in the streets because they are demonstrating?
Yeah, as I child I participated in anti Viet Nam demonstrations and was at MIT when the Pentagon Papers were released…

When he first took office, I saw some celebratory posts from some vets - that’s gone now.
There’s a deep anger and sharp watchfulness I’ve never seen. I think people will be surprised how it falls.

Or whether they just stand by when the deputized Proud Boys shoot.
Cheerful thoughts though. In Romania it took less than 10 days between the security forces opening fire at protesters (despite state media not reporting it) and execution of the man who ordered it.
The red line is a hell of a lot closer than that. If you are looking for that. It's way too late.
Given enough time they will institute a draft

Fun fact: Hitler gained power with the SA, the SS eliminated them on his orders later on.
If they start sievimg out the psychos to use against their own citizens, it’s best to start considering death
Then they will promote the "loyal". They will lead the purge.
These people will be bound. Something hanging over them to make them comply.
Court martial (and death by execution) or shoot that "traitor"?
Slippery slope.
Wake up. Get smarter. Lead, follow or get out of the way.
We are living in a dictatorship even by considering it.
Unfortunately people have to die for most to wake up.

Not even once.
But, you know, eggs.
I just don't want people to assume the military is on board because the right has always been proponents of the military. The brass are very steeped in the traditions of service and are usually highly educated.
It's #LuigiTime
He needs to be stopped!
They will raze cities, and destroy homes, and arrest children and the elderly.
This has been seen before wherever fascists take power.
The law changed last June and no one was willing to be persistent in their pushback. That would have paid of now.
Here is a starter kit for you.

I’ve had skin in that game and have done it with the USA. You and I think differently I guess.
I am trying to figure out what part you are implying works differently?
It's gonna get ugly.
He will never be able to identify them to fire them.
fear of death in the face of fascism is normal, but not choosing to run, or die fighting is a personal flaw.
finding any role you can in building community is what matters
