Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event.

  That would literally be against the oath they’ve already taken, but since some of them have already broken that oath, I suppose they won’t care.

    He’s following Hitler’s playbook.

    He’s going to do it.

    He’s already got federal employees writing essays of loyalty and praise.

    It should be interesting to see how long it takes for the average American to refuse to be tread on.

      Never?

      The majority of 2A advocates are already ready to put on their brown shirts, and it’s going to be a pitched battle between them and armed liberals, who will get stomped because the brown shirts will be backed by military forces… even if you don’t accept that the fascists have greater numbers, which I believe they do.

      Ghandi preached passive resistance to the German Jews, and look at how well that worked out for them. Nothing short of violent rebellion is going to have any effect, and I suspect there’s a minority on each side willing to come up blows, and a huge majority of people in the middle who are going to side with the status quo because they don’t to have their TikTok quality time interrupted.

      I’ll be the devil’s advocate here. They only need write on what they will do to move his agenda(s) forward. It’s not the dick sucking thing it’s been made out to be, but it’s still too fucking close for comfort.

  It would be a huge mistake, but I could see it happening.

  That’s one typo that actually makes this less bad.

    What’s the typo?

      No typo, apparently fealty is similar to fidelity in English, which is not my native language. Sorry about that.

  There’s one oath they can give him.

  At whatever the typical speed of a bullet flies.
