Americans can’t take a day off to protest.
…argued that he was too “woke” and too concerned with diversity in the armed forces.
Soooo… that’s exactly what the world needs:
A military comprised of American klansmen, hell bent on purifying the bloodlines of every country they set a jackbooted foot in.
That’s nice, we can set it beside the “Thursday night massacre” of the DoJ that happened last week. Only slightly higher, so we get a nice two-level effect with a path going down the middle and HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS WHY AREN’T THERE MILLIONS OF US RIOTING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW‽‽
Because Muricans are sheep dressed in chicken hawk costumes
Would be helpful to people who currently don’t know, and to people in the future, if you link to the Thursday night massacre of the doj, Google only showed me articles talking about the Friday one
need a leader
You know why we aren’t rioting…
Well, my algorithm says everything is peachy
Maybe it’s because I’m just very sensitive to these sorts of issues but when somebody fires a black man because they think he’s “woke”, it makes me believe that they didn’t fire him because he was woke. They fired him because he was black.
2nd. Is Trump just out there firing the people that will stand up to him ? If yes, we are in for a world of pain, this may not be how dictators are made, but it’s how they sustain their power 
Is Trump just out there firing the people that will stand up to him ?
How is this even a question? Yes, of course that’s what he’s doing. He’s literally following the playbook right wing think tanks wrote before the election. They’ve stated openly that this is all part of their plan. Purge the government of everyone but loyalists, and then act with impunity because the people whose job is to act as a check on executive power will rubber stamp everything.
God, Americans should be panicking right now and you’re all just sleepwalking into this.
Because a vast majority are fucking idiots. Everyone, with any sense, was yelling into the void between their ears about project 2025. Ads about it were everywhere, too. Stupid Stupid Stupid fucks.
As Tucker Carlson might say “I’m just asking the question “
Donald Trump has no fucking clue what is going on other than what is being whispered in his ear by the people who are orchastrating this whole thing.
Exactly why I keep saying in other threads that this problem doesn’t die with Trump. The damage is done, and the whisperers just need a new puppet once Trump kicks the bucket.
You are not wrong on either. This is exactly how a dictatorship begins. I only hope that the American public can see this for what it is. But I doubt it. Literacy is not a strong point.
I’m still hoping that James Bond like character from the British government will take him out for us, but that might just be because I’m in the middle of a James Bond movie marathon
Well, the British did burn Washington DC once before 🤷♀️
I hope it’s Idris Elba. Dude was born to be the next Bond, maybe that’s the real reason he couldn’t.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoy.
DUH
Sounds like all these people need to get together and lead armed forces in an uprising and coup the president…
Or elect a Congress that will remove him
Sure but I feel way more satisfaction watching him destroyed in some manner
THESE ARE ALL IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES!
Congress needs to step up and keep filing articles of impeachment. Get the republicans on record defending every criminal act, and then beat them in the midterms.
Impeachment? Midterms? Those words are meaningless now. The system has been broken and dismantled. You can’t vote your way out of fascism. The fight needs to be fought on every front, including those ones, but they will not save you.
The only way out is for the population to rise up in mass protest.
All the top officers have been in the military for over 20 years. They have seen Presidents come and go, and are loyal to their fellow service people. Even if they like Trump, firing for political reasons isn’t going to go down well.
But like DEI. Meritocracy, and other things Fox News told me
Genuinely, I do think the only way out of this is starting to look like a military coup by some sort of cadre of non-insane officers from across the services. Based on the performance and reactions of every single part of the government - specifically including the alphabet agencies - I don’t think we’re going to snap out of fascism any other way.
It looks like the legislative and judicial branches, and all of the agencies, have simply decided to do nothing and follow the rules while Trump just gives illegal directives that are then enacted by eel-on-musk’s imbecile intern wünderkinds, and everyone just stands around saying “I’m just following orders”. It’s fucking embarrassing.
Trump is going after senior military officers AND Social Security AND doing an end run around Congress all at once. I just hope that he doesn’t have enough fingers for the dike.
Problem is I don’t see any person in military doing this. They’re been brainwashed to love their country and their president since birth.
and their president
During training we are very specifically taught that nothing is above the constitution, including the president. We are obligated to refuse illegal orders.
If it stuck with me, hopefully it stuck with a few of the people still in service.
Isn’t a large part of the federal workforce veterans? I can’t imagine active service members have good feelings about Trump kicking them to the curb
If it stuck with me, hopefully it stuck with a few of the people still in service.
apparently not… it’s alredy happening and the entire rrction have been tears and bending over
Well, yeah. When you’re planning a military coup against a fascist regime you don’t announce it ahead of time.
I have zero special knowledge, but generic history would suggest that at least some in the officer class, regardless of political leaning, will not be down with the current trajectory.
no idea what this may look like, but my worthless analysis portends something brewing ahead and it may be wise to consider possibilities and prep accordingly. fuck these “interesting times”.
I don’t want to destroy any illusions, but I don’t believe that much resistance can be expected from the military. The command principle applies here and the president is the Commander-in-Chief. I don’t see why any civil disobedience could be expected here in particular. Besides, it’s not as if those who actually make up the majority of soldiers would have much say in military affairs. If that were the case, there might be a chance, but the military is also run by old, greedy, white men - just like any other US institution.
They’re not going to necessarily be the saviors of democracy but there’s actually a pretty clear demarcation between career politicians and career soldiers. There’s a reason “oblivious politician forces military to make strategic blunder” is a trope.
Usually their goals align with maintaining US hegemony but much less so when the Commander in Chief is selling the nation to foreign adversaries.

How dare he be black.
Climate? Ban. Diversity? Ban.
Lol, the list of banned words and phrases is about 100 words longer than that.
We’re gonna start seeing social media style workarounds. Show me papers on wmen and mnor*ties
The word “Women” is on that list at the bottom…women exist. I have proof.
Also, if you have a list that long, it doesn’t mean you are powerful enough to ban words, it means you are dumb enough to WANT to stay uneducated.
They exist, you just can’t talk about them existing.
My favorite is “inclusive” which is a preposition.
How many legal filings with “inclusive of _____” are there? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? All forbidden
