This sounds like a good idea for them in theory to purge out people they don't want, but this will definitely bite them in the ass eventually. The last thing you want to do when trying to use the military to take over is to divide the military. And to those that say "well the military is mostly republicans so they'll be fine with this" you forget that conservatives are big on free speech. Sure, there are the whiny ones on the internet that are a bunch of snowflakes, but those are not in the majority. Hell, most of them are probably bots, troll farms, or terminally online ragebaiters that are just louder.

If anything, I'm honestly starting to think that a lot of the doomers all over the internet are just bots trying to get everyone to lose hope and give up.
