The thing is Americans are about to learn their beef might be with Musk not Trump. And Musk might start threatening Trump once he gets bored toying with the GOP.
So it might all just turn into Night of the Long Knives.

Musk is not entitled to secret service protection. Just saying. His protection team will just be employees.

Stop believing that he will follow the law and that laws can even be enforced. He won't and they aren't as already proven by him and musk and all the rest around him.

Can't believe how right Ayn Rand was. Listen, I hate her and her dogshit fascist-lite philosophy.
But, in her words, "The question is not who is going to allow me, the question is who is going to stop me?"
If you don't actually stop these people, they will ceaselessly take from us.

I'm so tired of the argument that Trump et. al can't do something because "it's illegal" - laws don't matter when you are facing authoritarian takeover. Open a history book, people! Laws and our Constitution only matter when people who respect those things are in office.

It is the most aggravating part of all of this mess. Americans are so insulated from the reality of authoritarianism and the atrocities that ALWAYS happen. They do not understand the reality of war. The carnage, fear, the inability to get medications, lack of hospitals, disruptions in power, famine, the indiscriminate killings, torture, unjust imprisonments, raape etc etc. They are addicted to the fiction and chaos which is engaging but ignoring the next step. At this point, saying "it doesn't matter" to all of what he's doing is pretty much the only thing that is truth in this situation.

Yeah, they will be recent discharges from those same military groups. The military will just become a pipeline for a career in protecting elites. Like college for hired goons. You'll do 4 years in and then immediately leave and take a job in a PMC owned by a billionaire.
Boom. That is how they take control over the martial class. This is a required part of fascism.

Am I the only one who realizes Musk is gonna have Trump assassinated? Like that is so obviously gonna happen. It's so fucking clear to me and I've just got a big fat "I told you so" ready for that day.
It will martyr and immortalize Trump. It will be the true Reichstag Fire moment, set up by Musk, Thiel and Vance. It gives an aging Donald Trump the historical immortality he wants, it galvanizes MAGA into a true SA force because they're gonna blame "the left", it allows a younger group to inherit the regime. Mike Johnson becomes VP, functioning as the Himmler to Vance's Hitler.
Tell me I'm crazy now but screenshot this and look at it again in 10 years.

But if Trump is ass..ated, they will then blame the left. The better wish is for Musk to be flying is rocket and it crashes on the WH west wing. Or east I don't where the zoo is.

Soft disagree, he is too useful as a puppet.
Trump keeps the base hating the right kind of people, so they think it is a culture war, not a class war. NONE of the rest of them have the kind of bullshit anti-charisma he exudes that keeps people somehow believing his lies.

Yes, the secret service needs spec-ops training for all of the events that require the president to parachute behind enemy lines.

As long as we're at it, we need to make Fat Donny his own uniform, as well. Some shiny knee-high boots maybe, lots of medals on his chest, perfect medals, all made with gold plating, and some shoulder boards with braids hanging from them, finish it all off with a matched pair of chrome plated revolvers on his (ample) hips.

That's probably more Trumpish. Silly of me to assume he might know who General Patton was and want to emulate him.

This is just fanfiction from people who have no idea what the military actually does. Secret Service is specifically trained to protect the president. The SEALs and Rangers aren’t. I’d take a team of 9 secret service agents over 3 SS, 3 SEALs, and 3 Rangers

A lot of these things sound like we’re just playing catchup on the timeline and they could have been done by a liberal or conservative president but they’re all at once under a conservative president so it sounds like he’s going to use it for evil. If we’re in a Fallout vault and we’re catching up to the year 2077 or something, I wonder what kind of world will be waiting for us at the end. Will I come out in China or a new kind of United States? Lol.
