So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Last I checked the poorest blacks were 67% poorer than the poorest whites. Single mothers and children make up the largest group of poor in the country. And this is in the "before times." The battles waged in the last 100+ years are about to become revisited in real time. 2025: The "after times."

One black president-elected by the same demographic twice-& it was enough to accelerate a white nationalist coup. Energizing RW extremism & disarming progressive activism. The ONLY thing they hated more than the black man occupying the Oval Office was the very IDEA of that white woman following him
