National Guard Troops, within a controlled area surrounded by Hurricane Wire Topped Fencing, can go in a Large Group to 'visit' a sitting Congresswomen to 'speak to her' about what they consider a verbal slight.
White Farmers can be denied equal justice under the law because of the color of their skin and are refused access to Public Tax Funds but are Denied their right to confront those Legislators who proposed and passed the Law by keeping them out with that same Hurricane Wire Topped Fencing...and the same National Guards.
This appears to be nothing short of a Military Coup d'état.
Well the regular ass people aren't the ones who take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution from all threats both foreign and domestic while also being trained in the means to do so.
Yes but unfortunately that oath also comes with a shitload of other things. The military owns you; the risk level is extremely high.
My point is this: if people with zero risk are still unwilling to take action in ways that are slightly inconvenient, why do you expect people with a lot of risk to take action? The military is a fairly representative cross section of right, moderate, and center Left America. They’re still just people.
If your average civilian is too comfy to not cancel their Amazon account, why would a military member go all aloha snackbar?
ETA: you also might be seriously overestimating the amount of “training” people in the military actually have. Almost nobody ever touches a gun while on duty. Combat jobs are a tiny, tiny sliver of things at this point.
You're right over the target on this. We had thousands of patriots on 1/6 in DC and like many predicted, everyone went home a few hours later and the media and politicians spun it around on us. There were also many capitals and precincts in red states and conservative counties that manipulated the voting apparatus. Only a handful of people would show up and tried to fight it. The best we saw from our side was in Oregon a few months ago when patriots raised a little hell at their capital. We still have states, counties and cities that are still using covid to destroy their own citizens' freedoms and ability to earn a living. We gave Trump the largest legitimate victory of any politician in history and we all let that be stolen away from us. I too would not expect any lone wolf or lone cell mentality to come out of the military or the police forces. For anything to happen on a meaningful scale, it will take thousands of us who are 100% committed.
Funny that it may very well end up being ones that didn't that have to Minecraft and fix all this.
Thanks for the service, guys. We've got it from here.
Prove me wrong.
