Be afraid, be very afraid
I am about to go out of town to my son's wedding and been telling people for weeks I'm nervous about the country I will be returning to, if I can return to.
Ahead of No Kings Day, Trump is deploying troops to Democratic cities and telling the military to react not be impassive professions and telling the generals they will be fired if they aren't loyal to him.
This is a scenario that has been brewing for several weeks, and we are treating it as just a political crisis.

President Donald Trump threatened to fire top military leaders who might disagree with him at a rare meeting with hundreds of top generals and admirals, USA Today reports.
Said Trump: “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, ok?”
I’m reminded of Germany in 1939. Next comes the night of long knives.
I hope your son’s wedding is great.
As for the generals someone should remind these clowns how Stalin’s purge nearly destroyed the USSR. Especially when this go around their side has way too many idjits & under qualified grifters trying to run things above their pay grades
