At this point, with the ongoing ransacking at Treasury, anything short of physically threatening Musk's dweeb brigade with a wedgie and a bath, would be tantamount to writing a concerned letter to the masked guy who's currently getting away with your TV set.
Kinda feels like a little too late at this stage, y'know? The horse has left the station, and this analogy is getting way too convoluted.

Where is the military? That's what I want to know. There have to be enough of them to remember that they take an oath to defend the Constitution, not the president, and to act against a threat to our country.
I don't want a war and I'm not under any kind of illusion that turning the reins over to the military would be a happy ending. But I feel like we're at a point where that's the only thing that will stop them.

65% percent of active military members admitted that they voted for Trump so it could be 75-80 percent, realistically. I donтАЩt really want trained lethal death-cult soldiers being activated. They will not do the right thing.
So far, the IT security administrators of the world aren't severing links to the governmental systems - YET - because they've only threatened payments going out and internal employee data. The second these snotty-nosed interns begins to go beyond that scope, other departments & external private enterprise security will slam the government's access shut.

You're willing to bet that a significant chunk of the military isn't MAGA itself? Not sure I'd be willing to make that bet if I were you.
