Military control: The full takeover of US security agencies—the FBI, the CIA, the military, and others—by Trump loyalists is more or less complete now. They are just mopping up the last disgruntled insiders at this point. If you still believe that traditional norms against using the military domestically or launching FBI investigations for purely political reasons will be respected going forward, please abandon those beliefs at once. The FBI’s primary business now will be attacking Trump’s domestic enemies. It will be more crude and more overt than what happened under J. Edgar Hoover. On top of that, I will bet a dollar that the US military will be called out against protesters in this country before the end of the year.
One of the reasons that Yoon’s attempt at insurrection in Korea via a martial law order didn’t work was that the military didn’t go along with it. Some high-ranking generals skipped out entirely, and the special forces sent to block off the National Assembly let members just walk around to a back entrance.
I don’t think we have that kind of military now.
