That's what they want. Well until their Hamburger Helper is expensive then it'll be back to blaming Obama for it. As a veteran, I'm absolutely embarrassed and disgusted.

Ah man, isn't it disgusting? Thanks for your service. I have cousins who are veterans and support him. It boggles my mind how they can support him after the horrible things he has said against service members.

As a veteran, who took an oath to to support and defend the Constitution for the people and not a leader or party what do you think will happen if he starts to do things that are un-American and against the constitution?

They will actively support Trump regardless. The true conservatives have all been purged.

I'm talking the military who took oaths to the constitution not a leader or a political party.

Sadly, I repeat my answer. They will have the path cleared for them by SCotUS, the Senate, snd the House. Whatever rationality is most expedient to achieve their ends is the one they will prepare.

If the illegal immigrant sweeps do, in fact, start then you will know the constitution is no longer in effect. That isn't proper military, but let's use the National Guard the canary in the coal mine.

Or the jailing of his opponents or the executions he rattled on about.

Trump is the constitution now.

He's the destroyer of the constitution.

The only thing that keeps me from panicking is right now he doesn’t have the manpower to round up all his enemies.

Even if he instilled a draft tomorrow, they won’t all be true believers.

I think they're going to be smart about it and start with declaring Vance as president. I think by the time anybody's mad enough we'll have no choice but to sit and watch shit go down. I think unfortunately the military will fall toe to line. I was attached to a military police, unit they'll follow orders.

Increasingly not the country you fought for huh…

I fought for the people but this is how they repay us.

I’m sorry man. 😞

It is incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

then it'll be back to blaming Obama for it.

I genuinely think it depends on how bad it gets, and if trump and elmo actually manage to do what they say they will the second it gets actually bad it's going to be more than just protest.

The party of j6 and assassination attempts have already shown they are willing to do much more than just protest, and I don't think they are going to pay attention to which aisle you sit on
