And here it begins. We knew Trump has been waiting, building up to the right moment. Finally, he has a chance to use the military against civilians.
It is the beginning.
He literally told us he was planning to deploy the military against hypothetical, non-existent protests.
He’s trying to provoke a civil war.
All of this is true... for now.The USA armed forces will not open fire using military weapons against unarmed civilian Americans. This is a RED LINE that Trump has been made clear about since his first presidency.
Trump is an unadulterated fascist megalomaniac. He wants confrontation. He's baiting all of us. He will continue to take provocative actions and push until he hits resistance. At some point he will, as Tangmo said, ask the military to cross that red line. At that point, he will learn that there are higher principles in military service than accepting orders from a criminal. Not all of them, mind you, but nearly. And very few will abide his efforts to pervert military service to his ends. That will be the end.
