    This is the moment when we find out how many US soldiers have the balls to uphold their oath to the Constitution above all else, and refuse to comply with an obviously illegal order.

      this, combined with what pam bomb-me said the other day, would mean that the military could be quartered in your home on suspicion that you are harboring enemies of the established government. that government is also now bypassing representation by taxing the public via tarriffs.

      the words evade me. do they need fucking trefoil hats and bright red coats, too?

      edit - they’re literally making you pay a tax you didn’t ask for on british tea. i mean, come on

      I’d be very surprised if any of them actually did.

      They are all cut from the same cloth. I personally know veterans that eat up the Rights propaganda while believing everyone else is wrong.

      When someone brings up Republican dog whistles they can’t stop themselves from joining in.

      All the Right has to do is say “something something America!” and they’ll just follow orders. Literally the way it was conditioned into them.

          I support you. Chronically internet driven people like person replying to you generally don’t talk to veterans, don’t understand the military, and don’t really care about you.

          That’s fair. I won’t put all veterans or active duty in the same group.

          I do expect to see military stepping with law enforcement while knocking people’s doors down.

          Expecting anything else would make me a fool after seeing what has already been done.

          I’d rather be surprised that they don’t than surprised that they do.

          You sure you’re a veteran? You immediately cut and run at the first sign of trouble?

          Those colors are super runny, I guess. Must be watercolors.

          Sorry I offended you.

        2020 was the first time in decades that the majority of active duty military voted blue.
