Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

I do not believe there will be any large scale coordination. I believe we are a lobster in a pot. Our rights will slowly be removed one by one. Within a year, martial law will be declared, and the government will essentially be a legal dictatorship. Still, no one will do anything as long as they can get their Starbucks. The military will, under no circumstances, fight against the Trump administration.

It’s not important for me that you believe me, So do or do not.

You might be right. However, that's not what you said. You made all military personnel into enemies. How about you don't fucking do that. You want them to fight back? Make them welcome. If you make them enemies then they're going to be enemies. If you allow them to be allies then they may be.

Well, when the military enforces martial law, will they be the good guys?

This is a yes or no question.

I'm not afraid to answer questions like you are. The answer is no. The military isn't a person though. You're making a hypothetical, assuming it's reality, and also attributing all actions of people in the military to it before it even happens. How about you grow the fuck up. The world isn't black and white.
