If you're in 50501, with a member count like that, yesterday was the time to make preparations for as many to get to the capital as possible. Its Project 2025 for a reason, it will be done by the end of the year. We can't wait any longer or a passage to safety will no longer remain.
The army is the most likely entity to take out the fascists.
It’s far more likely Trump would use the National Guard, having already leveraged William Barr’s loophole to deploy them against citizens in DC and Portland.
The army already made it clear it wouldn't do shit back on January 6. This is just being extra.
They were ordered not to do anything. The senior officers are indoctrinated to loyalty to the country and constitution. He needs to replace the senior officers to have any chance of establishing himself as a dictator

The US military wasn't ordered to do anything, which was the issue.
An order for them either way to act, or to not act, would have been a point.

"would you support me in a coup? Your fired."
Unprecedented? Soooo many fascist precedents. Pick a fascism.
I would substitute fascist with authoritarian. Not that fascist is wrong, it's just incomplete. Left and center authoritarians have the same playbook.
Do you have anything that doesn't have any fascism in it? I don't like fascism.

It's not unprecedented though
True, but the other two circumstances were very different.
Obama fired McChrystal for criticizing him of poor judgement in a Rolling Stone article.

Truman fired McArthur for failure to follow directions, prolonging the Korean War.

O.P. might be referring Hitler ...
How so?
Im honestly curious
It's unprecedented in us history. But in world history it's following a particular game plan from the last century 100%.
I was hoping for good news. Fuck.
Well i guess I should have said it wasn't "unexpected" at least lol.
Ha, yeah unfortunately. I can see where you originally came from though. That's less of a "ha" and more of a 😭
The first of Trump's military blunders. The same one Hitler made.
Putin couldn't wish for a more useful idiot. Eventually he'll be giving direct tactical orders that result in China and Russia not needing to worry about the US Navy presence.
My prediction?
He'll first order Carrier Strike groups to reduce the number of vessels. Maybe keep one AEGIS guided missile destroyer, and one Alreigh-Burke. Remove one of the attack submarines. Cut the Supply-class boats down to a single vessel. ("Just cram it all it one, and fill it up twice as often").
But that's not Hitler level stupid on it's own. He'll have those ships scrapped. He needs to appease the defense industry, so he'll order the procurement of the true king of the fleet: Trump-class Dreadnaught Battleships (because he needs the extra big dreadnaughts!). They should be "nuclear powered" use the latest "laser cannon" a rail gun, and the biggest longest range cannons they can fit.
And that's just what he'll start with in the Navy.
The first? I would have thought that would have been his incredibly unpopular and badly though-out rapid withdrawl from northern Syria, which turned the close US allies the Kurds into sworn enemies overnight by allowing the Turkish army to attack them, and handed multiple fully-stocked military bases to (guess who) the Russians - all while he simultaneously declared victory over the very much not-defeated ISIL/ISIS.
But that's just off the top of my head and was in late 2018, so he had probably had major military blunders before then that im forgetting to be honest.
Honestly, 2018 seems like 20 years ago, I had completely forgotten about that.
It's not a wish when you made the idiot useful in the first place .
Diversity? Loyalty
Equality? Loyalty
Inclusion? Loyalty
Krasnov still at it with the dismantling.
When he's done the 'axis of evil' countries will have a field day with their neighboring countries completely unchecked.
OK so what are the chances that the military would revolt against the government? Would those in command fired have any power left in the army due to loyalty or simply annoyance of the power grab?

Once he has the military licking his boots, any chance for 2A is lost. Which of course, is why he's doing this.
