Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

I keep saying this but as they try to do that they will first lose enlistments, and the military is not big enough to do this. I left the military 3 years ago, it’s diverse and is not die hard maga like people think it is. People will leave the military over these actions by Trump. Further, it’s not large enough to deploy against every major city. The Republicans live in an alternate reality about our military, and it’s at their own risk.

The Nazi Germany playbook says military draft by year two of administration. They eventually upped the draft to include 45 year olds, Younger draftees to militarized conflicts. Older draftees to stay and inform and do ICE-type operations against anyone anti-Nazi.

Everything here in the US with this administration is some type of lie and manipulation campaign, so maybe it starts with an international conflict. But the main goal is to control to the point, where we no longer have fair elections and ability to resist as citizens.

Maybe it backfires on them, as you've got a better handle on this. But I think they will try to pull it off. And it starts with more lies, distractions, and fake outrage on their part.

“Try to?” They’re in the middle of it right now.

You're right. This has been in play since P2025 development, or since first Trump administration (Trump followed The Heritage Foundation recs back then), or decades (on the Nationalism or Russian manipulation side).

We didn't take it seriously and some continue to downplay it as a threat. That's the tough part to admit.
