Things are going very well when we've reached the "Don't worry, the military won't obey orders to kill civilians" stage of democratic backsliding. It's the sweet spot, where good things happen. Right where we want to be.

34-felon will pardon them, so don't ever believe any organization/government employee will say no.
If they do (say no), they're fired and replaced by someone who will. That very plan is already collecting names.

Sadly the military can only ignore illegal orders. Now with this ruling from the bought and paid for Supremes, maybe whatever Trump orders would be legal.

The president can’t give an illegal order because laws don’t apply to him. They would be compelled to follow the order.

That's pretty much what RWNJ's use to convince themselves they could actually be successful in a civil war/insurrection thing. Kind of ironic TBH.

I believe the precedent is to use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Special Operations Response Team against civilians. We can even euphemize the practice--SORTing them out.

To be fair that's also the zone where the Roman Praetorian Guard would off a Caesar for the good of the empire. So it's not hopeless.

And "the military" is not a monolith. If people don't think there are members of that military who are not horny to kill civilians, they're dead wrong.

But the military's age undocumented men might. 7 Billion surplus people in just 100 years never happened before. Good times over, hard to control that many resources, low birth rate, too much poverty still. TPTB work all sides to get the result they want, and we are not apart of their club. 💀$💀$🤡
