I think trying to use the military on the civilian population will be a trigger point for a large majority of Americans. I question whether a majority of officers, and rank and file, would obey such an order. We might even see units start fighting each other.
Given the ubiquity of cell phones, any such attack would immediately be on the Internet.
Whether or not we protest about him using the military, he and his enforcers will find a way to implement it. And then…they will double down on their reasoning when confronted.
Hal is certainly direct in his writings. Some might say too negative. But I am of the same mindset, that it’s already too late and yet I will continue to fight back. If we keep waiting for the military to attack American citizens, we’ve waited too long. Constitutional crisis? Long past that. He’s just adding to the list at this point since Americans and legal residents have already been arrested and deported. And children. 🤬
Thanks for joining Robert as a commenter here. I like your avatar. I hope to hear from you again. I know some find what I write too negative and it is reassuring to me to find that some of my readers like you think the same way I do.
I'm not suggesting we wait. Far from it. Even though Trump can't keep his mouth shut and his Misadministration leaks like a colander, it could happen by surprise. We need to keep that in mind and think about our responses.

I hope we don't find out.
