Gen Z has learned alot from growing up in the Trump era of CRONYISM.
They believe they qualified for roles they arent & who can tell them different when they see an entire government being run by people w/ no expertise? When experts are having to debate sycophants as if they are on the same level

Using the military in this way, should not be normalised. The military are not police. This is something we see in Russia, Turkey and other authoritarian countries.
The excuse that is used is public safety, but is designed to chill dissent and create fear of the populace and self censorship.

Let’s stop with the face that Republicans are care about fiscal policy and reducing the deficit. Tariffs are sinking the markets.
