Pattern Recognition

This photo of the State of the Union address should tell you everything you need to know.

Notice that, despite the almost two hours of rambling lies, every Republican politician present stands and applauds and smiles.

But you still think that the Republicans are going to do the right thing and impeach? Even though impeachment has never removed a president from office. Even though this one has been impeached twice already.

You still think they are going to support the use of the 25th Amendment?

By the way, I don’t expect anyone to actually read the links I provided on these two issues, because Americans can’t be bothered to read, which is why we’re here.

Republicans have systematically destroyed our educational system over decades of voting against funding it, precisely so that we would arrive at this moment. They wanted an uneducated, easily-led population, and they got it. And it’s our fault. Yes, ours, because we don’t read anything unless we have to. Well, guess what—now, we have to.

You think Republicans are going to suddenly change direction and stop supporting the agenda of hatred and authoritarianism and ripping the Constitution into tiny pieces?

Even if they did, what would it matter, if they are still there when the dust settles?

They obviously WANT all of this. They’re not simply being polite or playing politics. They want this madness. They want fascism in America.

You watched as the Supreme Kangaroo Court tried unsuccessfully to put a leash on the monster it created.

The only way you get out of this mess is through violent revolution.

You’ll be tempted to tell yourself that violence is what I’m hoping for. But that’s stupid. I’m going to be 53 years old this year, and I have a long list of things I would rather be doing, and none of them involve a revolution that will undoubtedly sow chaos and destruction in our lives in ways we can’t even imagine.

But I know what the alternative looks like. It looks like North Korea. It looks like Cambodia, or the current events in Iran. It looks like Hungary and Russia and Turkey. It looks like the dozens of other authoritarian regimes around the globe. It’s far uglier than any civil war.

It’s an intolerable day-to-day dystopian nightmare.

Even if the president and the vice president and half the current Republican Congress were suddenly gone, you would still have a huge problem in this country.

Because scenes like the one in this photo don’t just happen. There’s still massive support for this bullshit. The most dramatic polls say that only 68% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the president.

Think about that for a moment. 

That’s a problem. That’s a huge problem.

You have huge numbers of Americans who refuse to fact-check anything. They still get their news here:

That should tell you that nobody is getting out of this the easy way.

Despite Jon Oliver’s criticism of right-wingers saying “Civil war is inevitable,” I assert that any reasonable person, a person who’s head is not buried in the dirt, should come to precisely that conclusion.

There’s no reasoning with people this hateful and stupid. There’s no debating, no middle ground to be had.

That’s not my choice. It’s their choice.

You cannot reason with someone who doesn’t understand logic and rejects facts.

Continuing to insist that diplomacy always wins the day isn’t merely naive, it’s outright dangerous.

Nobody is getting a pony. 

Authoritarians don’t allow free and fair elections. 

If you are still telling yourself the lie that they can’t stop the elections, then you’re delusional and you are missing the point. 

They don’t have to stop the elections. 

They only have to interfere with them, sway the elections through gerrymandering and other tactics, dissuade people from voting through intimidation, stop the counting of votes, deny the results, and there are other methods that we won’t even discuss. 

You’re not voting your way out of this. 

And you’re not going to learn to live with the new order; it’s going to be absolutely insufferable. 

If you want to watch a really fantastic movie that perfectly illustrates how intolerable fascism is, while also managing to make you laugh and smile, then watch this on Netflix:

The Penguin Lessons

You won’t believe what I’m saying. You’ll continue to watch and wait and complain and do nothing. You’ll be nervous but hopeful when the midterms are closer. 

But then, you’ll watch them go sideways. And then you’ll act like no one warned you that this could happen. 

You’ve been repeatedly warned. 

You’ve heard it before—you want to know what you would have done in 1930s Germany? 

You’re doing it right now. 

All because you never took the time to study history, the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War I and II. You never read the writings of the Founding Fathers. They warned us that we would have to fight the same battles again in the future. 

But you were so sure that we’ve evolved, become more educated, empathetic, and that we’ve “outgrown all that.” 

You were wrong. Dead wrong.

You’re Already at War

America, you are already at war. You have been for over a year, you just didn’t know it.

I have been saying since November 6th, 2024, “Well, there it is. We’re going to slide into full-blown authoritarianism, unless we fight it out in the streets. We will not get free and fair elections unless we revolt.”

People said I was just being paranoid.

But here we are:

  • The gerrymandering race has begun
  • Threats of “federalizing the elections”
  • Saying “We shouldn’t even have an election”
  • Threatening to have ICE SA goons at all the polling stations to scare away voters of color
  • Threats of the Insurrection Act
  • Threats of war on multiple fronts (Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, etc.), so they can use martial law to suspend elections

Impeachment

I also have been saying that impeachment is a pipe dream. It has never once removed a president from office. It takes two-thirds of Congress to convict, and it’s a Republican majority.

The 25th Amendment

The 25th Amendment is also a pipe dream; not going to happen.

A National Strike

A national strike will hurt the workers more than the oligarchs. The average American can’t afford to risk losing their job, and can’t afford to miss a single day of work. In fact, the average American worker is one or two sick days away from financial disaster.

The people who push this idea the hardest are always the most privileged people, the ones who can’t understand why others KNOW they can’t participate in it.

For a day? Sure. For a week? Maybe. Probably not.

Long enough to do real damage to the system, to make the oligarchs cave? Fat chance.

It’s a ridiculous strategy.

Lawsuits

Lawsuits are the dumbest strategy of all. The orange toddler king has 34 felonies and didn’t do a single day of time. it is immune to lawsuits.

The tangerine palpatine was trained by Roy Cohn, one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever walk the streets of New York, and that’s saying something.

Grow up. The clown turd cheated its way to the top, suing people, cheating people out of money it owed them, and basically skating away laughing every time.

And that, as you know, is why that disgusting reject from Housewives of New Jersey is worshipped by the most horrible, hateful, disgusting people in America. They love the thing because the thing gets away with everything it does.

Contacting Your Representatives

Writing letters and emails to corrupt politicians who already know what you want? Nope. Not going to help. Phone calls? Same thing.

The ones who need to do the right thing are already dug in too deep. They can’t reverse course now. They know the American people will never forgive them. They have to win, or they know they will do prison time or worse.

I vote for WORSE.

The ones who are trying to do the right thing (like Bernie Sanders and AOC) are simply powerless, outnumbered. They don’t need to hear from you. They can’t do anything. They would if they could.

Boycotts

Boycotts? Nope. Temporary hits to the pocketbooks of the insanely rich. You can’t starve out people who have more money than God. You do not simply try to lay siege to billionaires. That’s not a Sun-Tzu-approved strategy.

You attempt to starve out people who can’t afford to miss any profits. That describes the American people, not the oligarchs.

The richest ones will pay handsomely for power. They will happily kick money downstream to pay their henchmen to use heavy-handed tactics to keep the workers in line.

Video and Whistles

Whistles and cellphones don’t stop Nazis. That’s a nice gesture, but that is all that it is… a gesture. When you blow a whistle, you buy a little time for the immigrants you alert with your whistles. But where will they go to be truly safe?

It will make you feel better, like you’re doing something. But it’s a half-measure:

Think through the steps. Always ask yourself the question, “And then what? What happens after that? Okay, and then what happens after that happens?” And so on.

The immigrants are not safe until the tyrants are out of power and ICE is disbanded, they’re all fired and then new people are hired under stringent rules, background checks, careful training, and put under strict rules of conduct that are enforced.

And that will never happen as long as the orange garbage bag of diarrhea and vomit is in office.



What’s Left?

America, you are at WAR. Time to grow up and accept the harsh realities of our current situation.

It’s time to gear up and be ready to do what your forefathers did. I don’t say this lightly. I am studied in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and other wars.

The Revolutionary War had fewer casualties because of a lower population, and more primitive weapons.

The Civil War had both a much larger population and rapid advances in the technology of warfare, hence the first major (large scale) battle of the war, Shiloh, had more deaths (around 23,000 or more) than all previous battles in American history. Before the war was over, there would be at least 600,000 dead.

A war today, however, would be thoroughly unpredictable. It would most likely be incredibly costly, in terms of lives lost and casualties suffered.

But it would be asymmetrical warfare, with no clear lines of battle. It would be violence springing up here and there, and otherwise, life would remain relatively normal for most people.

That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be horrific, because it most certainly would be. But you have to consider several things:

  • First, you’re already there. The experts all agree that all the conditions have been met. It’s just a matter of which event on which day is going to set the powder keg off. Here’s just one such person: author of The Next Civil War.
  • What is the alternative? The only alternative is to bend the knee to a pedophile felon who wants you to have no healthcare, no science, no education, no access to vaccines, no allies in the world, and no future.
  • You will have to turn a blind eye to the rape and murder of immigrants, the imprisonment of the orange shit stain’s political opponents, and you will have to be content letting them hijack your elections and your democracy.
  • You will be spitting and pissing on the graves of every single person who died in every American war, the people who fought Britain for Independence, the people who fought the Confederacy to end slavery, the people who fought Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in WWII, and the people who fought in all other wars.
  • You will be mocking their sacrifices, through your cowardice, your unwillingness to risk your life and your freedom.
  • And if you do that, then you deserve to live in horrible conditions and awful, terrible, miserable shame for the rest of your worthless existence.

Think this “isn’t your job?” Think again. Well before the fighting became intense in the Revolutionary War, as early as 1771-1773, every male Colonist between the ages of sixteen to sixty was expected to serve in the militia.

What modern Democrats have failed to understand is that the “well-regulated militia” mentioned in the Second Amendment has ALWAYS been about the citizenry.

The Founders were constantly saying that it was essential for the people, the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms. They made no confusing statements, no cryptic arguments that might be interpreted in multiple ways.

Rather than quote the Founders, I’m just going to quote the Second Amendment and encourage you to look for the examples yourself. Americans are entirely too used to having information spoon fed to them these days. Use search engines to search for facts for yourself.

Of course, if you’re reading my work, you probably already do that. Because people who have the patience to sift through my articles and poetry are generally intelligent people because I demand more from my readers.

Unfortunately, most people still hear, “Look it up!” and they never actually do it. But you are probably smarter than that, so please, search for examples that show how the Founders did indeed want the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms, precisely because of the kinds of danger from tyranny that we now find ourselves facing.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 


Side Note: Perhaps the greatest disservice that organizations like MOVEON.org have done is to “flood the zone” (deliberately using the language of that PoS, Steve Bannon) with messages that are counterproductive. They make memes and videos that always say things like,

“So and So [name of celebrity or Democrat] DESTROYS [name of orange abomination]!”

My response to this garbage is, “No, jackass. Destroy? Really? Destroy means to strip all power and efficiency from a person or thing, to obliterate it. Last I checked, the orange monstrosity was DESTROYING us, daily. So, shut up.

Also, the expression T.A.C.O. isn’t helping anyone. That’s NOT what is happening, anyway. Yes, there are lots of temporary changes in direction, but orange turd always comes back and does it again. The tariffs, the third term talk, you name it.

it temporarily changes course to get YOU, the American people, to relax and focus on other things. Then, later, the terror threats resume again, as if they’d never ended.


What to Do?

  • Organize with people who are willing to die over this. You need nut jobs like me, people who hate Nazis so much that they’d rather die than see a fucking Nazi continue to breathe.
  • Arm yourself and train. Practice your Second Amendment rights, and do it legally. Go to the range. Get a concealed carry permit. Learn to field-strip and clean your weapon. Learn how to clear a jammed weapon. Get lessons if you need them.
  • Want to train with non-fascists? Find your local Socialist Rifle Association. They don’t care if you’re not a Socialist, just as long as you’re not an active-duty cop, a domestic abuser, or a fascist. They’re very LGBTQ-friendly and very responsible gun owners. They will train you. They’re really nice people.
  • Prep. Store shelf-stable food, water, and water purification methods. Stock up on first aid supplies and medications and medical manuals.
  • Also, start collecting military manuals and books about tactics, particularly guerrilla warfare tactics, you know, for the um… historical value, like for schoolwork and stuff. Yeah, that’s it, schoolwork.
  • Get my book Basic Survival Prepping by Kevin Trent Boswell.
Basic Survival Prepping by Kevin Trent Boswell
Available on Amazon
(even though, yes, they ARE the ENEMY)

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.

None of this discussion is pleasant. To be perfectly honest, I think I am looking at my last days. I don’t expect to survive this bullshit. But I promise you, I don’t write that sitting here, wiping tears away. No, nothing of the sort. It’s more of a bitter scowling frustration, because I know that if this proceeds unchecked, there will be no real quality of life in America.

What I mean is that I would bet everything that I own that the tyrants will not stop, but rather, they will escalate.

Since I’m unwilling to sit back and watch that unfold, I don’t see how I have any other real option than to do whatever I can, play my part, whatever way is most effective. There’s not much I can do until everyone finally realizes that none of the options discussed above are viable, except for revolt.

I would rather read books, watch movies, eat good food, chase girls, play guitar, listen to music, write poetry, and pretty much anything else, anything that doesn’t involve fighting Nazis in the streets.

But there are Nazis in the streets, and they hurting people. There are Nazis on the Hill, and they’re hurting people.

Miserable

Addicted to our leisures,
Afraid of death and pain,
We lie still and take it
In the ass again

But the worst parts of the thing
Haven’t arrived at your door
When they do, you will know
That you should’ve done more

There is no misery
Like the misery of those
Who watch their families
Ravaged by foes

Author’s Note: For the record, anyone who is still calling for (only) peaceful protests is a moronic child.

The elections will not proceed normally. Why? Because fascists NEVER allow free and fair elections. If you think you’re not already in a fascist regime, then honestly? You’re too stupid to deserve freedom.

If you’re unable to fight, and peaceful resistance is literally all you are capable of doing, then I am not angry with you. You are not who I am speaking to right now.

But if you ARE capable of fighting, yet, you refuse to, OR if you’re actively discouraging others from utilizing armed resistance, then just know this:

I HATE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.

You are a fascist enabler. You can go to hell. Your childish, Pollyanna naive notions of nonviolence are excruciatingly misguided. You have no comprehension of how the real world works.

The Khmer Rouge of Cambodia was going on about the same time that I entered this world. If you truly believe that humans have “outgrown” violence, then you’re a fool, and you literally don’t deserve to live in the democracy that so many of your forefathers died to provide you.

READ THIS:

LIST of GENOCIDES

Note how many occurred just in the last hundred years. Now, one is literally beginning in your backyard.

Erica Chenoweth is NOT your friend. Her work is cherrypicking history. She is most likely a CIA plant, but that doesn’t even matter.

All you have to do is look around and see that the new SA goons are perfectly willing to murder American citizens, and they will not be held accountable for any of it; not by the regime, anyway.

You either stand your little punk ass up and defend yourself against tyranny, or you DESERVE to live beneath the boots of the Fourth Reich.

The Black Panthers are standing up. The people of Lincoln Heights, Ohio stood up. The people in Minneapolis took to the streets with rifles and handguns to protect their neighborhoods.

So, if you are a little pacifist shit who is still clinging to naive notions of impeachment or the 25th Amendment, then YOU are the problem. I think you’re WORSE than the fascists, themselves. How? Because I understand what they are doing.

They’re fascists. Fascists are gonna fash.

But what are YOU doing? That’s what makes no fucking sense. You are angry at the people who want to stop the fascists by any means necessary.

I HATE YOU.

You will all eventually be screaming for blood, once the fascists kill or imprison one of YOUR loved ones, and THEY WILL.

“First they came..”

And I will have no sympathy for you, because you were too hopelessly addicted to your stupid belief that logic, reason, and fair play will always prevail.

There is only one way to deal with bullies, and it has NOTHING to do with writing letters, “rocking the midterms,” voting Blue, making phone calls, and least of all, blowing goddamn whistles.

Shove your whistles up your asses.

Pick up something that will actually stop a Nazi.

Because:

ALL NAZIS MUST DIE.


Not a real quote, just a meme I made.


My name is Kevin Trent Boswell, and I refuse to cower in fear of those worthless little Nazi shits who sold their country for a red hat.

I will not break bread with Nazis. Anyone who still identifies as a Conservative, a Republican, Libertarian, or a “Moderate” is NOT a good person. Go to hell. Eat a bag of dicks and DIE.

I’m already on all of the coolest watchlists, but please, feel free to report me to any or all of them… again. I would hate for those motherfuckers to ever forget my name.

And if anyone reading this doesn’t like what I’m saying, I live in Portland, Oregon, and it’s not difficult to find me. Come sort it out. I suggest you bring help.


And STOP talking about Impeachment because you clearly have no idea what you’re asking for. Read the goddamn Wikipedia page, ferfuckssake.

Likewise, the 25th Amendment is NOT going to be invoked. Stop being a child. The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and Jesus are not going to combine and form Mega-Savior.

Nobody is going to save your stupid ass.

Either pick up a weapon, assist someone who is willing and able to pick up a weapon, or learn to delight in poverty and servitude, because you will be required to Sieg Heil that disgusting orange sack of vomit and diarrhea every day at specific times.

Think that’s hyperbole? Then you are a moron and you don’t deserve to live in a free society.

I made this one, too. And if you genuinely think anyone is going to impeach the president successfully, then. you are an IDIOT.

They’ve already threatened to suspend the elections, just like I (and others) warned they would, as far back as 2020, but especially since Inauguration Day of this regime.

They’ve already threatened to have ICE SA/SS goons patrol polling stations and intimidate voters.

They’ve already murdered people in cold blood, in daylight, on video.

And some of you are STILL insisting that the rest of us remain peaceful?

Who the fuck do you think you are? And what the fuck are you smoking?

What? Because you know there will be bloodshed and destruction? Seriously?

You don’t see your nation being pulled apart from the inside? You don’t see your nation being isolated from all its traditional allies? You don’t see your nation being dragged into wars with hornets nests?

Get a grip. Embrace reality. You are NOT safe until you deal with this, and you ain’t getting out of it the easy way.

Republicans Mean to Kill You

I will be the unpopular voice in the room. We’re dealing with psychopaths who will NEVER respect anyone else, listen to reason, or consider logic that doesn’t work in their favor.

“Violence” is what perpetrators do. It’s why we have police and military, to protect us against violent people.

“Force,” even deadly force, is what we use to stop violence against ourselves, our families, neighbors, and our country.

What happens when the people at the highest levels of government are themselves violent, selfish, and sociopathic?

When the politicians who are supposed to represent you have no respect for human rights, the Constitution, due process, habeas corpus, or the law of the land?

What then?

Do we roll over and refuse to protect ourselves? Do we refuse to defend our neighbors, families, children, livelihoods, freedoms, or nation?

Do we erroneously cling to our failure to distinguish between force and violence?

We are like children who, having never seen a chicken killed and plucked, sit at the table and eat, calling it delicious.

But upon witnessing the act of killing the bird, we recoil in horror, chastising the one who did the deed, calling them a brute.

But when they stop, and there is no fresh fried chicken on the table for our supper, we moan and complain.

The people of Ukraine, civilians, immediately began training in military tactics when they learned that Russia was preparing to invade.

The United States of America is a nation born of rebellion. It was not a “violent” revolution, but a courageous act of self-defense.

The Founders knew King George was a tyrant and cared nothing for their welfare. They knew that no one would come along and save them.

They knew that if they did not stand for themselves, no one would stand for them, and they would be ground beneath the boot heel of tyranny.

The courts are buying you some time. However, that’s the extent of their power. The time they are buying you is time you are wasting.

The reason the regime is not making more fuss about the “losses” in court is simple:

They have already won the biggest court battle, but they did so without technically winning.

They know they don’t have to return anyone from El Salvador because no one will make them do it.

They don’t have to stop abducting people off the streets, even full citizens, because no one is going to force them to stop.

You are dealing with sociopaths. They are the equivalent of serial killers in three-piece suits.
They only speak the language of violence.

They only respond to the language of force.
Continuing to state your case verbally is ridiculous. They already know they’re wrong; they DON’T CARE.

We already know they are wrong; we don’t need to hear it seven hundred sixty-three times.

The only people who can save the American people are the American people.

If you need a model, use the neighborhood watch of Lincoln Heights, OH. They understood the assignment.

They are the Black community, and they have never been able to naively expect that someone in uniform, or an expensive suit, would come along and protect them.

Like the people of Ukraine, they knew they must stand for themselves.

Despite being the “more educated” party, Liberals, Democrats, and Progressives seem to be woefully ignorant of history.

Our present moment is NOT parallel to the Civil Rights movement.

The beautiful strategies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are impractical in this current state of American affairs.

The opposite of the Civil Rights movement was merely preserving the status quo.

It wasn’t about the total subjugation of every single American citizen who is not already a billionaire.

Therefore, it is not accurate or wise to assume that “non-violent” forms of protest will protect the people of this country from a violent dictator.

We have already witnessed them snatching people off the streets and sending them to foreign prisons, where standards are well outside the acceptable standards of the Geneva Conventions.

Then, we witnessed two dictators sit in the Oval Office and laugh at all of us. They cracked jokes about “homegrown criminals.”

Each of them smirking as they said, “I can’t do anything about it. Can you?” And the other responds, “Who, me? No. I don’t have the power to do that!”

They’re mocking you because you allow them to.

They’re the schoolyard bullies who never learn. That is, they don’t learn until some new kid they pick on turns out to be tougher than they are, and unwilling to put up with them.

When that new kid thoroughly whips their punk asses, they slink back under the rocks they crawled out from beneath.

But they will not retreat one single moment sooner than that. Bullies must always be physically put in their place.

The only exception is when a strong disciplinarian teacher or principal steps in and ends the conflict.

But our Congress, Supreme Court, State governors, and most of our mayors have proven that they are not up to the job.

We need wartime leadership, leaders who are willing to take bold steps, such as calling out the National Guard to deter ICE, instructing State Police to protect every citizen and legal immigrant, or face termination.

Steps are needed such as governors and mayors allowing and encouraging citizens to organize neighborhood watch groups like the one in Lincoln Heights, Ohio.⠀

Local officials should not only be encouraging this, they should be funding it and overseeing training, by bringing in former military personnel and law enforcement experts.

Such experts can teach citizens how to be safe and proficient with firearms, and how to de-escalate conflicts when possible.

But they can also teach them how to use force when necessary, using the least drastic measures necessary.

I consider it absolutely essential that we be greatly expanding access to trauma first aid courses, such as TECC. That’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care.

If citizens don’t end up shooting someone who they view as a kidnapper, then certainly we still run the risk that one of these fake, cosplay ICE agents ends up seriously harming someone through their complete lack of training, experience, or integrity.

There should be at least one person on every city block who is certified in trauma medicine, or at least familiar with it.

The alternative is not pretty, citizenry, full of pure, unbridled rage, rising up in small, unofficial vigilante groups and causing chaos and destruction.

It’s only a matter of time before this occurs. Setting up a series of dominoes in a line and tipping the first one denotes a predictable outcome, not a wildly speculative slippery slope fallacy. Seeing how such events will soon begin to take shape is merely common sense.

Local governments could easily take genuinely effective action by channeling the rage of the people into effective safe training of local militias, instilling in them the sense of duty that would constrain them against making rash decisions. 

But someone must stand. The courts are doing their best, but they have no real teeth.


However, Democrats will likely not take the initiative and do these things. I expect no such bravery from any of them.

So, I beseech each and every person who stands against this tyrannical fascist regime to do it themselves.

Be safe. Be responsible. But be fearless and be determined.

Responsible citizenship behooves us to be proactive and protect our neighbors, our communities, and our freedoms.


The sycophants in Congress are loving their new levels of power, as well as the occasional extreme profits of the president’s insider trading schemes. They will not budge from their shyster positions of extreme privilege. 

Nothing about this regime’s actions over the last hundred days says “respect for democracy and democratic freedoms.” 

To believe that they will take away your due process and rob you of your right of habeas corpus, but that they will allow you to have free and fair elections is the height of naïveté. 

To think that they will illegally pitch autos on the White House lawn, but will not rig elections is dumb.

You are watching them offer influence over US government decisions to foreign nationals through contributions to an illegal bitcoin account. To think they are not planning to jail anyone who speaks out is just plain stupid. 

They’re already in the process of rigging future elections, so they will appear to have integrity on the surface, but will have nothing underneath. 

If you cannot bring yourself to believe this, then either you are gullible, or the president truly is 6’ 3” tall. 

The military is bound by oath not to interfere in civilian politics, even when the politicians are trampling on the Constitution. 

Unless the military forgets their oath, unless they fire on the people or unlawfully arrest them,  then they are the only blameless party in all of this, so far.

Every train of thought leads 

Until you stand for yourself, America, your situation will deteriorate daily. 

I repeat, why would they take away your rights of due process and habeas corpus, unless they intend to subject you to terrible things?
