Ironically, Trump seeks to cast the designation of terrorism on dissent. Yet his dissenters are the ones who try to preserve the republic from its slip into fascist authoritarianism.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
