Can you maybe wait until they actually do anything fascist before you condemn them?
I sort of suspect that some of the reason for all the landscaping is that Trump tried to tell the guard to do what he really wants them to be doing, and somebody at some level told him to go fuck himself. It’s not because Trump had picking up trash in mind as what he’d like the armed forces to be doing right now.
Depends on what they’re doing. If they’re building up a big groundswell of resentment against Dear Leader, so that when he does order them to build an internment camp or shoot some protestors they’ll be that much more likely to turn their guns in the other direction, then I’m in favor of that. If they were doing what the local cops are often doing, and cooperating with ICE to arrest random people and whisk them away, I’d feel a lot worse about it. Have they been doing that second thing or anything that you know of?

Do you feel that having armed military personnel patrolling the streets isn’t fascist?
