    Top administration officials also have preparing a new national defense strategy that is expected to make homeland defense the nation’s top concern, after several years of China being identified as the top national security risk to the United States.

    Does this mean the military is going to be used inside the USA, on their own population, on a previously unseen scale?

      Kinda feels like it, especially since I personally know at least a few people whose brain has been melted by facebook propaganda who would eagerly support it.

      When I saw my mom angrily (and unprompted) blaming “evil democrats” within a couple hours of Kirk getting shot in texts, it highlighted to me on a personal level how the foundation has been laid for this regime to just do whatever they want and get meaningful support for it. There’s a considerable percentage of the population now who are such reactionary fanatics that they will 100% cheer on Trump if they see troops cracking skulls in “evil democrat states”.

      We know what this is. We all saw the Nazi salute during the inauguration, the subsequent deconstruction of the government, and the fucking death camps opening.
