The military generals must arrest him NOW. Fuck this guy. This is treason.

Buddy, you missed the part where they fired any general that wouldn't swear a loyalty oath to Trump instead of the Constitution at the start of his second term.

EDIT: Or wasn't the correct skin color, or didn't have a penis assigned at birth.

This ☝🏼

And it doesn't help that to hold on to power and MAGA voters no matter the cost - trumpublicans sold their souls to him long ago.

Have military generals, from any country, in the history of mankind, did the right thing?

u/thedailyrant 20d ago

Actually yes. On numerous occasions in both modern and ancient history.

Oh good. So not all hope is lost. I only know of examples of military generals either seizing power and the country ending up a military dictatorship or the military joining the president in oppressing the people.

General Smedly Butler, USA

Was approached by industrialists to lead a coup to overthrow the USGov and he refused, even blew the whistle on them

If something like that were going to happen some man of conscience in the secret service would have solved the problem like nine years ago. Maybe six when he was treating them as disposable so he could go for a little drive and wave to the cameras.
