This is like reliving the election of 2000, but times 10. That decision cost the lives of 5000 American soldiers and over 100,000 civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. How much will this cost us?!!

This time it won't be combatants of other nations killing Americans, it will be our own citizens turning on other citizens.
This is a mixed war, but rather than a war between individuals and a nation, it will be a war of the government against it's own citizens, using paramilitary forces, Germany 1933-45 comes to mind.
I spend a lot of time on bases, thanks to my Korean War Vet spouse. The on-base TV runs MSNBC as well as FOX. I think it hangs by a thread who the commanding officer is. Many women are serving, and they aren't nobodies. Look at the retired officers horrified at Trump. I agree: not necessarily!
I've said it, in two sentences. Such brevity is uncommon for me.
Let me spell it out even more. Trump will launch a war of citizen vs citizen, just like the Brownshirts in Germany, and use the military to round up the "vermin poisoning the blood of the nation" and deport them, or hold them as "criminals" to use as slave labor.
Nothing is a given. Just saying don't look to the military to save our bacon. Just look around the world. Who is the bludgeon of last resort to be used against he people, and often the first?
The military.
The military follows orders, it is that simple.
Who comprises the majority of the ranks , southerrn and rural white boys.,
Who comprises the majority of it's l;eadership, officers trained in the Acadamy's and where has Dominionism made inroads? The Acadamy's
The treason brothers Generals Michael and Charles Flynn are not aberrations.
Does Trump really need to use the military when he's got all the police departments at his disposal with military equipment to fight a bunch of pot smoking flour loving pansy hippies?
Well, that won't be me! Did your bullying spell-check convert "flower?" We already have to strangle A.I. Anyway, your worry about local cops is justified. As a retired Public Defender, I know something about the mentality. One of my cases, long after exit from 'Nam," I had audio of the cops chasing a suspect through a neighborhood identifying him as a "gook." Not only are the stereotypes profound, but so is the arrogant assumption that they can write anything in their report, testify in front of a jury and whatever is going to be bought hook, line sinker. Scary.

You assume the military will go with the Trumplicans. Not necessarily!

Is that clear enough?
Good job William brevity seems to be your friend.
I agree with Linda Z above, that "use the military" is not a given. Just chiming in.
