Fuckers voted him in too, and their government voted for him to take extraordinary power away from all branches of the administration writ large. He didnt need the army to take control, once the justice system is corrupted everything is possible. Then comes the military to knock down the doors of those who are fighting against a system of justice that is no longer just, because they work for the head of state after all.
Right now Trump does not need the army, he has exactly what he needs to force the authoritarian boundaries as much as wants, after all he has a senate majority that are just standing there and letting him destroy law and order, no push-back at all. It would not surprise me in the slightest if they decided to vote through a suspension of the election, cause
. something or other.
As Margaret Atwood wrote in the Handmaids Tale: That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.
It is almost like they are reading a how-to manual, or at the very least, someone is showing Trump 1930s European history in a picture book.
