I’m addressing an instance of doomerism. Participation of current or former military in the rebellion occupies my thoughts far less than that, currently.
We shouldn’t expect a military coup on this issue. The vast majority of soldiers will take the side of Police and ICE on this issue and proudly stand by them.
Doomerism here allows us to focus our efforts elsewhere, where it’d be more fruitful to strike back vs Trump.
It is not even that they “will” take the side of fascism. They already have at every step of the way.
We can sit thinking warm and cheery thoughts. Or we can think about what it will mean to survive for people who aren’t privileged enough to be a cishet white guy without any history of giving a shit about other human beings.
