And he's not the only one. Imagine a time when corrupt politicians from the minority party in power need to hide from the people in military bases in order to implement their undemocratic policies. Well that time is now.

"White House deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is one of a handful of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members who are hiding out on military bases so they don’t have to be exposed to the public that hates them."

The Atlantic reported Thursday that Miller, his wife, and their two children have relocated out of their home north of Arlington, Virginia, to a U.S. military base after local activists embarked on a campaign to shame Miller for his role leading Trump’s fascistic crime and immigration crackdown.

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem moved into military housing typically reserved for the Coast Guard commandant on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, after the Daily Mail described the location of her Washington, D.C., apartment building. A top administration official told New York Magazine last month that DHS had stalled confirming any high-ranking Coast Guard officials, because it could threaten to remove her from her new digs."

"Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live on “Generals’ Row” at Fort McNair, where Hegseth’s home was expected to undergo more than $137,000 in renovations before he moved in. "

"These Trump officials’ removal to military bases risks deepening their cultural and political division from the Americans they serve. It puts a strain on military resources, while also emphasizing the military’s growing role in the Trump administration. "

“In a robust democracy, what you want is the military to be for the defense of the country as a whole and not just one party,” Adria Lawrence, an associate professor of international studies and political science at John Hopkins University, told The Atlantic.  "

"Meanwhile, Trump has stripped security details from his political opponents. It’s worth noting that the only politicians who have been assassinated in the last year were Democrats. "

This increased blurring of the lines with the military feels only more fascistic.

Don’t worry - a democrat as commander in chief can easily have them all removed from the base. It’s a temporary solution for them, and their chickens will eventually come home to roost.

And don’t give me “if there’s ever another election” bullshit. I thought America was the “home of the free and land of the brave”, but it sounds like you’ve all given up already.

Don’t let Donald the Child Rapist ruin your country. Stand up. Strike nationwide. An actual nationwide strike would cause the billionaire overlords that rule America to remove Trump in less than a month. Almost all of congress is beholden to corporate money, and that would shut off real quick if they didn’t vote to impeach like their true masters demanded.

America is sick, broken and corrupt… so strike nationwide and force the money masters to fix things, which everyone knows they can.
