      Every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.

      Domestic enemies like Donald Trump pose a much greater threat to our country than any conventional combatant with a gun or missile - the military is already oath-bound to engage him the same way they do any other enemy.

      The inaction from them so far doesn’t paint a very promising picture regarding their willingness to actually do what’s right to protect our country; but we also don’t need the entire military to unite against that traitor: we just need a single one of them with the right training to apply through skills.

      Servicemen and women: please actually do your job.

        you obviously have no idea what “do your job” means here… military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

          You’re sorta missing the point. Nobody is talking about having the military issuing parking tickets here.

          It’s about Trump running for office, and Congress/the courts saying “no”.

          Who does the military listen to? Do they obey Trump’s orders to enforce his will at polling places?

          Don’t conflate ‘doing their job’ with the misuse of force they’re famous for. We need them to do their actual job, not just blindly follow orders into a series of war crimes.

          military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

          Yes, contingent on those streets being populated by enemies of the US like Donald Trump / members of his regime / ICE.

                MAGA would love to see military in the streets murdering people, I’m the polar opposite of MAGA.

                  At best, you’re what’s called “blue maga” as you’re purity-testing your way right into supporting his regime.

                  I kinda doubt it though, since you’re just ignoring what’s being said to keep parroting the same strawman shit over and over: either your reading comprehension really is that bad, making you a useful idiot for the Trump regime; or you’re deliberately posting in bad faith with the goal to advance the Trump regime in the first place, making you the kind of Nazi that does recognize the evil that’s happening, and fucking loves it.

                  What’s your goal here?

                    wtf is “blue maga”. this binary shit of blood in the streets or you’re MAGA is insane, not even worth discussing.

                    my goal? not blood in the streets at a minimum. what is your goal? murder anyone who doesn’t have your approved thinking?

                    why does every discussion on the internet these days feel like talking to a bot or a Russian agent trying to sow chaos?

                    crawl back in your fucking hole and stop advocating for violence.

        As an outsider. The big danger appears to be how your country has also armed your police and now customs people as if they’re military too. Things could start to get very messy very fast.
