We've been conditioned all our lives to believe that the American Democratic institutions of Checks and Balances will protect our Democracy from every threat, while we also know the Fascist re-elected President and installing a rogues gallery of disaster administrators specifically chosen to be unable to perform their missions. We are like zombies programmed to believe walking into the wood chipper will be fine in the end, and if you believe the general consensus, the American people purposefully chose this for our country in this last election. Biden could declare martial law, could imprison Trump on any number of charges, but won't. He's not that kinda dude. So we wait, and we see just how bad it will get, and I for one, believe that humanity hasn't seen the sort of chaos since the Fall of Rome or the rise of the Reich.
WTF are you talking about about? The military leadership being willing to uphold the law and defend the Constitution should be the status quo, and have absolutely fuck-all to do with any sort of loyalty to Biden.
Why are you understating it? You're giving them too much benefit of the doubt: they are specifically chosen to sabotage their missions.
I really hope you're right about them not being able to do their jobs. That is its own kind of disaster of course, but one that's far better than the proactive, aggressive, needless harm I'm thinking they could be ramping up for.
