Top “generals,” plural I believe.
edit 1: just remembered different services use different ranks, the other confirmed fire was an admiral.
edit 2: Another general was indeed fired: Gen. James Slife
And they’re likely getting replaced with diehard loyalists. The Joint Chiefs is already going to a MAGA if I heard correctly.
Quoting Lenin: “There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.”
And it’s starting to feel like there are days when centuries happen.
If Trump genuinely, fully wants to drive the United States into authoritarianism, forcefully installing diehard loyalists in the military is one of the most crucial early steps.
I rarely lean into conspiracy theories and we’re living in insanely complex times but this move has me genuinely worried. Hopefully, my fears turn out to be a figment of imagination.
I don’t think this counts as a conspiracy theory. What he is doing is right out of Project 2025 and it is exactly for the reason you are suggesting.
It’s not a conspiracy theory when they’re doing what they said they were going to do. Trump’s weak disavowal doesn’t really count since everyone he’s surrounded himself with was and still is an active proponent.
Narrator: they didn’t.
Nope
not sure if you deserve the downvotes lol. Whatcha mean?
