hell yeah destroy the institutional knowledge of the US empire.
put in idiots and morons. letssss gooooooo
firing every officer slightly in touch with reality to be followed up with wicked recriminations when the yes men don’t magically deliver on unworkable promises
hell yeah make the empire’s military even less functional
Critical support to Trump in his quest to destroy the US military
Are you now, or have you ever been, woke?
No sir
He’s fucking up the entire military and I’m ok with that.
Here’s my best guess at a list of candidates:
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Q._Brown_Jr.
Commander of the United States Africa Command (he might keep a black man as leader of africom though) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Langley
Commander of the United States Southern Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Holsey
Commander of the United States Strategic Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_J._Cotton
Commander of United States Transportation Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Reed
Commanding general of United States Army Europe and Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_A._Williams
Commanding general of United States Army Pacific https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_P._Clark
Chief of naval operations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Franchetti
There’s a good chance he doesn’t just go after poc and women though, he might just go after everyone appointed by Biden.
Commander of the United States Africa Command (he might keep a black man as leader of africom though) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Langley
Michael Langley. Ok universe, very funny
Charles Q. Brown Jr.
Good grief
Wtf why isn’t that link working it’s literally being copypasted.
Here’s the role instead. Click his name in the sidebar to get to the above link. I have NO idea why it isn’t working.

I was just making a Charlie Brown joke
oooooooo
Anyway I worked out the problem. Hexbear ignores the period at the end of the URL but that’s actually supposed to be there. If you add a period to the broken URL after clicking it, then it will work. This is probably an obscure minor bug in lemmy @dessalines@lemmy.ml
The downside here is that everyone left will be the most rabidly anti China meat heads you’ve ever seen
Trump protecting our nations precious gays and trans
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Actually kind of worrying if he goes through with it; any generals not deemed “woke” will be those loyal to him. He’d be falling ass-backwards into setting up for a coup.
Trump getting couped by the military who install Obama as supreme leader is the funniest possible outcome
Uhhhh, let me be clear, if you like your junta, you can keep it
He’d be falling ass-backwards into setting up for a coup.
I mean isn’t this how coups happen? wannabe dictator purges the military, military decides to coup them? Except in the US he’d probably actually successfully purge them bc everyone is obsessed with peacefully handing a gun over for him to point at their heads
I wouldn’t bank on an appreciable level of intelligence and coordination from a group of people who are some of the dumbest our country has to offer - I seriously doubt they’d pull it off. They’re preparing for an invasion of China, let that concept sink in. They bumble their way through losing wars and congratulate themselves on a job well done.
please, please, please stop mistaking unintelligent rhetoric as an indicator of actual intelligence.
There are smart fascists. Aligned with class interests, correctly seeing problems on the horizon, and dealing with them in the fascist manner: It’s such a profoundly dangerous mistake to go “hawww they’re too dumb to be dangerous.” No. They’re not.
These people love to play dumb for the cameras
Not too dumb to be dangerous. I served under some of those freaks, and they’re plenty dangerous - but their ability to plan and coordinate is beyond weak. Their arrogance blinds them completely.
Maybe they’ll also waste time, money, and resources re-renaming all the bases and military equipment from their new woke names back to old timey racists.
Every year the millitary budget is raised by 1 billion to rename shit that was renamed by the last president that was renamed…
I’m hoping that he just fucks shit up so badly that the machine can’t function effectively and breaks down without much overt repression.
Between this and the threats to leave NATO because of twitter, I’m beginning to wonder if he’ll get JFK’d before he takes office lmao
they lack the competence and audacity of the dulles era but the MIC and intelligence web still run this show and they’ll change or remove him before he can substantially disrupt their bag. that remains the safest bet in us domestic politics
Trump accidentally being the harm reduction candidate example#number
Really smart thing to do when people are signing up to the army in record low numbers lmao
<- me watching US imperialism fast-forward itself to an early graveYou can’t spell Defense Industrial Complex without DEI!
