Been tough on the Not Giving Into Dread front the last couple days. I wanna believe that the UK and French election results are a bellwether for the US (at least as far as I understand them) and I’m still cautiously optimistic Trump won’t win the election But still. The threat is enormous

I don’t like the way things are either, but preventing one king by crowning a different one still kills the republic, and maybe I’ve got some brain worms but *I do not want to live in a monarchy on principle*

Maybe I’m just shell-shocked from 2016, but I’m not entirely sure what’s going on in the UK with their election and the last time they had one the summer before the US election we started heading into the Cool Zone real hard so I’m perhaps a bit anxious

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

Instead we had the CJCS recognize the moment and immediately start putting in firebreaks to prevent a military-backed coup. Your typical four-star officer isn’t stupid (contrary to what every sergeant ever told me), they have a pretty clear-eyed sense of threat assessment

I’m not an especially smart or politically savvy guy so bear with me, but: Biden wins, the most immediate threat is suppressed. What is the COA to undo SCOTUS fuckery? Like what’s the actual mechanism besides defenestrating a bunch of judges and installing new guys to undo it?
