Yeah - that's what happens when you elect somebody who's painfully obviously profoundly mentally ill - they make insane proposals to do insane shit.

It's only insane if you don't understand fascism. "Deport all the immigrants" = ethnically cleanse America.
The difference between "ethically" and "ethnically" was never more stark.
More of a "moral" purge.
Anyone who doesn't bend the knee to Trump as a god has the wrong morals, and will be put in a camp
ethics be damned
Lol quite the Freudian slip.
Never thought this was possible? Maybe go do some research on what we did to Americans of Japanese (or Chinese or Laotian or...) descent back in WW2.
Also: Anyone who doubts that the military will "just follow orders" on this hasn't been paying attention.
There was a time when the federal govt deploying the military to the states to enforce laws would be the worst case scenario in the eyes of the Republican party.
You know it's fascism when you're ok with the govt doing the worst case scenario, as long as you're sure they won't target you. I feel like even Reagan would have voted for Harris at this point.
That RINO?
Trump has also said he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to expel suspected members of drug cartels without due process.
Without due process, how do you establish who is a member of a drug cartel? I guess Trump and the cops get to decide whether someone looks the type. So basically they plan to deport anyone they don't like the look of. Join a protest or a picket line and you too could become a suspected cartel member.
Yes, well, you voted him in. I wonder what the Harris vs. Trump ratio was among service members?
You might be surprised what the feelings are of people in the Pentagon vs those in the services at large. The Pentagon is filled mostly with officers, not enlisted people. Officers are college educated and are responsible for leading teams of people. They take their oath of service EXTREMELY seriously, and seeing a commander in chief who spits in the face of this oath is not taken lightly. Seeing a commander in chief who risks the lives of their people for questionable reasons is not taken lightly. I was in the Pentagon the month before and the day after election... most people there are not Trump voters.
They may not like it, but it's a different question whether they'll disobey orders.
Plus, he can always dismiss the generals who disagree with him, and appoint new ones that do.
No, we did not vote him in. Over half the country are lethargic fucks who didn't vote at all.
I'm not sure I appreciate the word hurdles there.
