Just a guy, geodetic surveyor by trade, political junky and horror streamer lover by night... But hates the horror genre. (The streamers are so wholesome)

I play story rich and sim games, and on the weekend I love museums with friends or sailing.
Sadly more and more of Europe votes for right wing populists who hate democracy, so though I agree with you, it may also be too late.

I might get the ID.2 depending on range and such.

The military is build up out of regular americans. You'd hope they didn't have their conscience and moral fiber fully drilled out of them.

Asking them to kill their own theoretical family members and friends should give them at least some pause.

I know. And I know more Americans who feel the same way.

I hope you and others like you find a way to stop it.

I hope the US military at some point refuses clearly unconstitutional orders.

I have friends in Minneapolis among other places in the US. I hate I have to worry about them being iced for being sane and standing up to injustice and dictatorship, and it makes me more emotional than I would normally be.

I don't know honestly. I can't really blame anyone in particular, but I hope you understand it's frustrating to see a country slide off the cliff of dictatorship in real time.

I'm sorry if I made you feel like I was attacking you, that was not my intention.

There's a difference between people who've lived under a repressive regime for 70 years and people who had a representative democracy up to a year ago and call themselves "the freeest country in the world."

I know more than enough Americans that are angry. But I'm not actually seeing any pushback.

The gop has taken over everything, no matter if they're allowed to by law or not.

All the checks and balances have failed because they have been taken over by people who care more about personal profit and power than the good of the country.

No matter what is said, I don't see this ending well.

I'm not American, but so far he's gotten away with every single thing he's tried to do. (Or so it seems to me anyway)

I find it hard to see where the American people draw the line. Every time I'm like "surely this is the line?" And he gets no real pushback.

I guess now we see what the US military does.

Do they keep blindly following their decrepid commander in chief and destroy America or do they rebel and try to save it.

Though even if they try to save it I doubt it's not beyond saving.

How much do you want to bet the officer who did it has been relocated to like, the other side of the country in hope he will never face any consequences?

One of the things the administration will do is show these thugs they won't get punished, making them more likely to do it again.
