    I’d be very surprised if anyone in uniform lays down arms and sides with protestors in this country.

        I’ve been reading stories about people growing disillusioned with Trump for almost a decade now and yet nothing ever changes.

                I agree, but it’s irrelevant to what I’m posting about. I understand that the military isn’t a monolith and there are some anti-Trump people there, but those who wear basically any uniform (national guard, military, police, ice, etc.) are largely Trump supporters and, despite some whining, I have yet to see any indicator that they’ll break with Trump.

                I’ve been reading about cracks amongst his support for ten years and no major obstacles ever actually materialize.

                  Biden’s 4 years were kind of a major obstacle, and the 2018 mid-terms kind of got in the way.

                  November 2026 is just 17 months away, and if he tries something in 2028, there might be a lot of opposition, particularly if the economy continues to suffer.

                    Again, the subject is active duty military and national guard dropping their arms and joining the protestors.
