Sadly, this is my fear as well. Pay attention to what @willbunch.bsky.social is saying here:
Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction'
It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control

From Fort Bragg to L.A., Trump enlists the military in a slow-motion coup | Will Bunch
Trump’s abuse of the military to control civilians, as tanks roll into D.C., is where this was always heading.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried.
They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?
