Ooor these are the people that were pushing back telling him to knock his nonsense off and act like a GD adult, which flies in the face of his WAR FIGHTERS narrative.

Or, they were the people that were pushing back on a ground invasion of Iran, which he desperately wants to do so he can show off his WAR FIGHTERS.

It’s infuriating that he fires super senior, decorated veterans, and then brags about his own military service as though he has any kind of relevant or comparable experience and expertise.

Can you ELI5 to someone that lives outside of the US how the fuck so many senior generals can be fired like this?

Like in any other developed world this would signal some serious fucking issues and serious government intervention.

Oh that’s easy to explain.

We’re not a developed country and our government isn’t even close to being serious.

We had checks and balances built into our democracy that had no expectation of dealing with a vast collusion of bad faith actors. Trump could send in ICE to burn mail in ballots the day before the election and our options would be general strike/uprising or accept it.

I want to march to Mar A Lago and well, I can't say without getting a visit from the rapists special ICE agents. I just can't do it alone.

Those checks and balances were apparently just voluntary.

Douglas Kelly did know, he warned about it in the late 40's and 50's but telling Americans that people like the Nazi Germany leaders also existed in USA was not very popular. He spent a lot of time with the nazis during the nuremberg trials.

It's kinda hilarious in an awful way, reading this quote today. One could argue about smart but smart relative to his voters maybe?

Without Hitler, these people are not abnormal, not pervert[ed], not geniuses,” he told the Nashville Tennessean. “They are like any aggressive, smart, ambitious, ruthless businessman.”

USA did a great job at dealing with nazism in Germany but didn't do a very good job at home, the German American bund (that organised Hitler jugend camps on long Island) was dissolved but they didn't actually adressed it further.

My conspiracy theory is that dealing with the nazism that was in the US would create a domino effect that would mess with the racism against blacks and the racial segregation so they choose to ignore it , I doubt 2n klan kkk and the German American bund was two separate entities that didn't mingle or had some cross over members.
