So, is our military going to need to step up to ensure a fair election next year, and also prevent Trump from taking office again? That is, assuming he, A) lives that long, and B) somehow pulls this off. Isn’t that why they are required to swear an oath to the Constitution, and not the President? Does that actually hold any water?
military is for external threats, you don’t want them playing cop

Every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Domestic enemies like Donald Trump pose a much greater threat to our country than any conventional combatant with a gun or missile - the military is already oath-bound to engage him the same way they do any other enemy.

The inaction from them so far doesn’t paint a very promising picture regarding their willingness to actually do what’s right to protect our country; but we also don’t need the entire military to unite against that traitor: we just need a single one of them with the right training to apply through skills.

Servicemen and women: please actually do your job.

you obviously have no idea what “do your job” means here… military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

Don’t conflate ‘doing their job’ with the misuse of force they’re famous for. We need them to do their actual job, not just blindly follow orders into a series of war crimes.

military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

Yes, contingent on those streets being populated by enemies of the US like Donald Trump / members of his regime / ICE.

you seem to be conflating military with police. you want them wantonly murdering Americans in the street? stfu lunatic.
Your maga is showing.
MAGA would love to see military in the streets murdering people, I’m the polar opposite of MAGA.

At best, you’re what’s called “blue maga” as you’re purity-testing your way right into supporting his regime.

I kinda doubt it though, since you’re just ignoring what’s being said to keep parroting the same strawman shit over and over: either your reading comprehension really is that bad, making you a useful idiot for the Trump regime; or you’re deliberately posting in bad faith with the goal to advance the Trump regime in the first place, making you the kind of Nazi that does recognize the evil that’s happening, and fucking loves it.

What’s your goal here?

wtf is “blue maga”. this binary shit of blood in the streets or you’re MAGA is insane, not even worth discussing.

my goal? not blood in the streets at a minimum. what is your goal? murder anyone who doesn’t have your approved thinking?

why does every discussion on the internet these days feel like talking to a bot or a Russian agent trying to sow chaos?

crawl back in your fucking hole and stop advocating for violence.

wtf is “blue maga”.

Literally described it in my previous post.

this binary shit of blood in the streets or you’re MAGA is insane, not even worth discussing.

You’d be correct if that’s what we were discussing. You’re arguing against something that was never pitched in the first place - that’s called strawman, and is a big part of why your posts reek of MAGA - they love pulling that shit.

my goal? not blood in the streets at a minimum.

Whose blood?

what is your goal?

I stated my goal in my first post here, which is to encourage military personnel to act on their oath instead of blindly following the orders of the evil dipshits their oath compels them to slay.

murder anyone who doesn’t have your approved thinking?

Strawman again. That particular flavor of strawman is also rampant in MAGA posting. Whether or not Nazis - particularly, those Nazis currently in power, and using that power to enact global scale atrocities - are people who are worth preserving isn’t the kind of thing that boils down to a difference of opinion any more than a tsunami could be described as just a wave. Technically correct? Sure. Difference in scope? Not even a little bit comparable.

why does every discussion on the internet these days feel like talking to a bot or a Russian agent trying to sow chaos?

Do you feel that dropping that line makes you less suspicious? Cuz the whole blue MAGA act stands out like a sore thumb.

crawl back in your fucking hole and stop advocating for violence.

No. Advocating for the preservation of Nazis is advocating for violence. Calling on people who swore an oath to fight those Nazis to actually do so is justified and overdue. There are no options on the table that don’t involve violence; nor is you coming to the defense of the aggressors.
