They are rw by nature and training and will do whatever the CIC tells them to do, that is their life and what is drilled into them over and over. Not honor and dinity or caring - just following orders. Yeah, they mention the others, but it's the following orders that is reinforced at every turn, not the values. drumpf won't say, kill all Americans who happen to vote Democrat - hell no. He'll tell the military that a plot was uncovered for the overthrow of his government by Antifa and the ast majoriity will do as they are told. There will certainly be a few honorable people who will not do this, but most will. We can't count on either the military or John Roberts to save us - both are mostly hostile to us and we are fucked if we have to depend on either.

I've noticed an uptick in the admin's outreach to fundy Christians (ex: the Barr address a few weeks ago) and fear they're prepping the fundies for a Holy Civil War. Maybe my paranoia's getting the best of me, but no prediction as to what this orange asshole does can be considered far-fetched at this point.

Neither Hitler or shithole are believable Christians, shithole is not.

Coupled with the pardoned military servicemen, shithole know that he may not make it for 2020 elections. Too much bad stuff is being exposed and more to follow.
