I wss thinking that if one really wanted to try to get through to a MAGA, especially a fringe one, it's worth putting in that you were a trump supporter or you voted for him in the past.  They're never going to agree with a lib, but if they think you are/were one of them they might be more willing to listen to why he's a fucking moron. 

Fuck off with your wee beady  eyes and chicken that I crave every fortnight.

And you were a dick to Bobby Boucher.

 

Only thing changing minds is personal pain.  Severe personal pain.  This is one of the most "bless your heart post" dripping with niavete  I've ever read here; and that's saying a lot,  because I post here.

All the shit out in the open on Trump and you expect to change minds.  He was horrifically unqualified in 2016.

When they a MAGA man's parents die of what could have been a treatable cancer, when his wife dies during an ectopic pregnancy, his brother lives on the streets after getting dumped out a VA hospital with PTSD, when his company president dies in a plane crash, when his kids suffer the effects of measles, and food is skyrocketing and interest rates on his variable mortgage make his home unaffordable, maybe he'll wonder if maybe he's been duped.

Maybe it's a stupid idea.  Could be, I have lots of them.  There is going to be pain regardless, but we need to have the those affected attribute that pain to trump and his policies.  If not we'll rinse and repeat this shit again in four years.

When a military commander receives an illegal order from the CINC, he has a duty not to obey that order.

He also has a duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.  So if the CINC insists on issuing an order to use military force against one of the 50 states because its government didn't do what he wants, that commander further has a duty to take action against the CINC.

That is the crisis we are headed towards.  It's like it's out of a terrible fucking movie starring Steven Seagal or some shit.  But it's real.

I was thinking a Tom Clancy novel, but yeah, that would be too well-written for this administration.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I feel it in my bones that what is happening is not sustainable and that reckoning day will be here before the 2028 election, shit probably before 2026

And I have said this before, give it a few months for the repercussions of some of these early actions to really sink in and more importantly for it to warm up.  I am curious what will be the event that really sparks things off.  A court ruling, a police shooting, an attempt on somebody's life, a peaceful protest that gets gestapod....so many possibilities on the wheel.

I agree with the first part.  The second, I don't know. 

But this figures to be a huge turning point.  Military leaders have to respect the chain of command, but they also cannot obey an illegal order.  So, what's it gonna be when the illegal orders are coming from the top of the chain of command?

I really don't know how this one will break.

but I do thank old uncle Joe, in his last days as president, for telling everyone in the military to  “remember your oath.”

Now that I think about it, every single one of us who has a relative currently serving in the Armed Forces should reach out to them and remind them that their oath is to the constitution - not to the orange shithead.  

And while it will be ignored by many, it only takes one person and one key spot to decline to do the wrong thing. Like the Russian sailor during the Cuban missile crisis who refused to begin Armageddon.

Around 1% of the population of this country consist of the clinically psychopathic.  With the number of layoffs and general fuckery that threatens to tank democracy, the economy, increase unemployment, and drive up costs of basic needs, someone in this all too well armed country, whether they fall into that 1% grouping, is liable to decide to take a shot.  I'm not saying I encourage or support such a thing.  I don't.  But I think the probability that it happens increases every day people of ill will continue to chisel away at the foundations of our democracy and society for their personal benefits.

Basically all of the stock markets growth for a couple years has been speculative and based on LLMs and AI being as impactful as the advent of digital computing. The tech is useful, but they are not the magic beans that have been bought and sold and inflated

And basically all of our economic systems REQUIRE the line to go up. There's a titanic corporate debt bubble coming down the pike if they can't just keep refinancing on a larger market cap basis like they have been for a few decades now

What's the Mark Twain quote?  "I did not attend his funeral, but I approved of it."

 

Or Chris Rock: "I'm not saying I agree, but I understand."

 

But I really don't endorse such a thing, and will not be quoted or inferred to have suggested otherwise.

Since the inevitable comparisons to the Nazis are going to be made here is where there is a line. Germany in the early 1930’s had a whole bunch of veterans from The Great War that felt they did not lose the war. They felt unfairly blamed for the war and the Versailles Treaty was still fresh on their minds. The Wehrmacht at that point was a skeleton of its Great War size, BUT, and this is key, they had grievances a mile long against France and Britain. You had the necessary ingredients for Hitler to be able to have a military that pledged allegiance to him, especially so because he had served in that war. Revenge was still on the minds of those soldiers and the children who had to hear for their entire life to that point that Germany needed to gain revenge against those countries and a centuries old scapegoat of the Jews. 
 

Our military is not suffering from a crisis in the confidence of itself or the values it is sworn to uphold. The United States military owes nothing to the con man, its idiot and racist defense secretary or any of the rest of them. We have a military built upon 250 years of weathering two wars with England, a Civil War, two world wars and now 80 years past that still being the dominant force in the world. It is built to weather morons like Trump. People routinely make fun of the Marines and their supposed lack of intellect. I’ll take that marine and his commanding officers and their vow to protect us. Our politicians will fail us continually like they are now, but our military I have zero qualms about trusting them. Push comes to shove they still have the big guns, tanks and planes and the orange con man has only his own plane and his cadre of secret service guards to try and overtake that. To that I say good luck.

Very good point.  I'm not sure I share complete confidence in the US military, but I have hopes.

You are very correct that Germany was full of impoverished and disgruntled (also low-ranking, uneducated enlisted) soldiers.  Freikorps was an essential element of the Nazi rise to power.  I suppose Proud Boys and their ilk are similar, but I think there were far more Freikorps running around

Well at least he learned a valuable lesson. Next lesson is living with bad credit scores, repo men and maybe bankruptcy court. But I mean, how could this have been avoided?

It may be a familiar characterization for some, but Ezra Klein's definition of the federal government (or Deep State oogah boogah!) is on point-

It's insurance with a large standing army.

Everything else is just coins in between the couch cushions.

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Military 

Guess who the South African determined was a parasite on America, Tom.

No worries.  They'll vote for him again (and yes, he is "running" in 2028, accept that), because this one time, a dirty tranny played women's badminton at Upper Western Minnesota State Tech and Teacher's College.

I shared your optimism about our military holding the line until a recently retired military friend of mine cautioned against being so confident.

I think it work better anonymously.   And if we had some twitter bots, starting out a post like that would be better at changing opinions than just laughing in their face for their hardships.   We can do that in this thread.  Just a thought if we're really trying to change minds of those that voted for him and might go the other way in the mid terms.

Nobody who voted Trump in 2024 is capable of listening to reason and changing their mind.

Back in the early days of Trump’s first term, I was talking to a guy that wasn't a Trump supporter but was a Republican and a big consumer of right wing media. Out of the blue he started musing about what was so bad about Trump’s position on Russia.

This guy was Air Force intelligence in the 80's in the Reagan era and talked shit about Russia when reminiscing about his service. When he mentioned Trump and Russia maybe not being a bad idea I brought up his activities during the Cold War and how he personally felt about the Russians. He acknowledged his dislike for Russia but then followed up with unsureness about where he stands.

You could see the cognitive dissonance enveloping him in real time.

You’re describing my stepfather except he’s full maga

Wow we're getting to the brown shirt phase hella fast

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/politics/elon-musk-private-security-deputized-marshals-service/index.html

The US Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk’s private security detail, giving them certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents, three law enforcement officials familiar with the matter told CNN.

It was not immediately clear how many members of Musk’s security team were made special deputies.

Musk, the tech billionaire and ally of President Donald Trump, does not currently have a US Secret Service detail – meaning members of his personal security detail were limited in what they could do in Washington, DC.

Now that members have been deputized, they have more rights and could be authorized to carry weapons on federal grounds. It also means that if something went awry with the detail, the Marshals Service could be held legally liable, one law enforcement source said.

Pretty swag...
