    Actually kind of worrying if he goes through with it; any generals not deemed "woke" will be those loyal to him. He'd be falling ass-backwards into setting up for a coup.

      I mean isn't this how coups happen? wannabe dictator purges the military, military decides to coup them? Except in the US he'd probably actually successfully purge them bc everyone is obsessed with peacefully handing a gun over for him to point at their heads

      I wouldn't bank on an appreciable level of intelligence and coordination from a group of people who are some of the dumbest our country has to offer - I seriously doubt they'd pull it off. They're preparing for an invasion of China, let that concept sink in. They bumble their way through losing wars and congratulate themselves on a job well done.

        please, please, please stop mistaking unintelligent rhetoric as an indicator of actual intelligence.

        There are smart fascists. Aligned with class interests, correctly seeing problems on the horizon, and dealing with them in the fascist manner: It's such a profoundly dangerous mistake to go "hawww they're too dumb to be dangerous." No. They're not.
