A full-on purge of the military leadership, targeting women and people of color.
This perfectly captures where we are: An escalating authoritarian takeover of the state, combined with an aggressive program to re-segregate the spheres of influence and power and restore complete white male dominance.

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

Textbook authoritarian play to eliminate guardrails against illegal use of military, both abroad and domestically.
A question - have we seen prosperous countries plunge into authoritarianism before, and have there standard of living degrade (as will happen here) and stay there?
Thats not an escalating takeover. It's a successful one.
*I hope things don't need to get that far.
