Says who? The “Republican Party”? So you think tyranny wins?? Quite a lot of people who voted for that moron were hoodwinked, dumb, but will wake up. If you think the military is going to listen to the orange messiah if he tries something stupid, than you’re just as crazy as him. This is all because of one man, who’s an idiot. That’s not the words I’d really describe him as but I have respect here on Meidas’s Substack.
VP Harris received 75 million votes. 20 million did a protest vote and stayed home. The ones that did vote for him and Musk and The Heritage Foundation, and the ones we call MAGATs will wake up because it is not what they voted for. Mitch McConnell created this monster (a failed business/TV show host) and that’s all he his and that’s all he will be. I don’t have children but many of you do and millions of Americans. This is not what they want for their kids. This is not what I want either. Americans were pissed off before the election, wait until he starts with his stunts. The ones that voted for him are in for a rude awakening.
Don't forget about the FAKE white christian nationalists that have been working on this for decades! A good documentary to watch is "Bad Faith" (free on Tubi). Ronald Reagan was wrapped up in sin! This has been brewing for decades! I believe in Christ, I will never believe any "white christian nationalist".
Hey, don't throw all Christians in the same boat! I know you are just frustrated like the rest of us. Time to fight back against CN with bible verses. Let them their path to heaven has a huge roadblock in it!
“That doesn't mean Trump won't try, but he's got a couple of brick walls to get through: first, Congress, and then Military leaders who are loyal to the Constitution.” I am counting on this, and I hope you’re right. Of course trump, bannon and the rest know this very well. Which is why I expect to see the GOP pushing for changes to gain control over the military. Trump has been pretty clear about that. The Heritage Foundation have made no secret that they’re in this for the long-haul, not just 4 years.
Hegseth has no control over what the military will do. Hegspeth is the nominee for head of Dept of defense, and if approved will supposedly manage the various military resources as defined by Congress. It is a lot of money and a lot of people, but he has no power to tell the military to do anything.
Military leaders report to Trump, who IS the Commander in Chief under our Constitution. Trump does not have the respect of military leaders, who have let it be known that their oath is to the Constitution, and that they will not follow any order that is illegal. That doesn't mean Trump won't try, but he's got a couple of brick walls to get through: first, Congress, and then Military leaders who are loyal to the Constitution.
It was the folks like them on the inside who served as guardrails during Trump's first term. A lot of them are gone now, and he has ensured that unqualified sycophants are in high level positions now. But there are still dedicated public servants in place, and I think Trump is going to find it a lot harder to break the civil service system than he thinks.
His thinking is disordered and he frequently indulges in magical thinking. So I am hopeful that enough of the safeguards will remain in place long enough for us to stay the worst that Trump thinks he is going to do. He has made too many conflicting promises to too many people, and there's going to be some blowback that should provide some satisfying entertainment, Though it will be a bitch to clean up after.
They will not listen. They take an oath to the constitution, not the president. Presidents come and go.
Hegseth is a moron and they will not follow orders that are illegal. I don’t care what the Republican Party says or what the orange messiah says. They will not round up immigrants and they will not attack sovereign nations who are our allies. That’s not things you should be worry about. I have plenty of family in the military and I’ve spoken to them about that. You might have some rogue ones that are Trump supporters but the majority of them will not.
This is encouraging! I have heard also that ..the military is made up largely of the populations that the new administration is NOT supportive of , to say the least...to think that they would listen to criminals and disgusting mean Hegseth and the felon elect....I would think hope not.
The immigration roundup has already begun! In Kern County, CA ICE raids grabbed 100’s of law abiding hard working people. My son in law who is a US citizen, born and raised in CA was stopped in his semi truck. 2 unmarked black cars stopped him while he was trying to leave a truck stop. They demanded he get out of his truck and he refused. Words were exchanged and he just drove off. This is trumps new america.
God I hope you’re right! But I’m told Fox is played 24/7, and the GOP have plans for a new “trumpstitution” if you will, that will make the military loyal to the Commander in Chief rather than the constitution. I believe Project 25 has outlined various changes that would make that possible.
I don’t care what the idiots that wrote project 2025 wrote. It doesn’t supersede the United States Constitution. Trumpstupidation sounds more about right. Even the Supreme Court won’t go along with that nonsense.
Sadly, the current Supreme Court already has gone along with some of "that nonsense". Project 2015 was written by the same people who vetted most of the people now on the Supreme Court.
If you think Pete Hegseth is going to do anything other than what Trump wants, then you're just as crazy as him. He wouldn't say that it's NOT OK to shoot people in the knees to end a protest. I watched him snake around every question, always giving the answer that Dear Leader wants.
Pete Hegseth is a dirtbag and will do anything tRump tells him, but the generals may not follow. I understand their oath is to the Constitution. Most of them are men of honour I believe.
Sal, democracy is dead already. None of the rules of law or social norms apply

Thank you Sal and no democracy is not dead! We need to fight in any way we can!

You're right. I had "white nationalist christians" changed the wording to "white christian nationalists"! Big difference!
Yes we do!

The military dies not like Trump or Musk
Sal, with Hegseth in charge I’m afraid the military will totally listen to the orange messiah. Hope I’m wrong.
Hegseth has no control over what the military will do. Hegspeth is the nominee for head of Dept of defense, and if approved will supposedly manage the various military resources as defined by Congress. It is a lot of money and a lot of people, but he has no power to tell the military to do anything.

I hope you are right! It was shocking to read how many of those that were in attendance on J6 were military, i was shocked.
They will not listen. They take an oath to the constitution, not the president. Presidents come and go.
Hegseth is a moron and they will not follow orders that are illegal. I don’t care what the Republican Party says or what the orange messiah says.

You need to report this asap to your Congressional delegation if you are in CA. Or the media. The effort is to stop the surprise factor.
Sadly not shocked. Please make sure he reports this to his Congressional delegate. AND the media. Be really loud. Not Fox of course! BTC, Meidas, etc.
Scary!
God I hope you’re right! But I’m told Fox is played 24/7, and the GOP have plans for a new “trumpstitution” if you will, that will make the military loyal to the Commander in Chief rather than the constitution. I believe Project 25 has outlined various changes that would make that possible.

lol! 💪
I wouldn't trust the superior court to do what is line with the constitution.
Sadly, the current Supreme Court already has gone along with some of "that nonsense". Project 2015 was written by the same people who vetted most of the people now on the Supreme Court.

He wants to replace the generals with "ones like HItler had"
Yep. But the Generals may not follow a disrespectful criminal. It could be harder than Trump thinks. Like Panama...
