President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 2,000 more National Guard members in addition to 700 Marines responding to immigration protests in Los Angeles.
So for all the “The US military will not take illegal orders from Donald Trump!” crowd, there’s your answer.
For years before Trump came along, people were ragging on the military and law enforcement for being low-IQ, over-armored people who liked the power trip of essentially playing a live game of Call of Duty and being able to project their power onto others. What makes you think that changed?
Now those same low-IQ people who are acting like it’s a live game of COD get to shoot people they don’t like with impunity. You think they’re gonna abandon Trump? LOLOLOL. He just gave them the opportunity to live their dream. They get to fire into large crowds and treat every invasion of some random guy’s home like a Seal-Team-Six mission where they’re going after Osama Bin Laden himself. They’re not gonna abandon Trump. They’ll make the MAGA hat an official part of the uniform before that happens.
He’s already going after them. Plenty of Trump supporters have been reported as being shocked and surprised when they’re the ones that were put in handcuffs, or lost their jobs, or saw their spouses deported. It has led to virtually no change in sentiment among the Trump base.
Heck, how many videos were posted during the COVID pandemic of people literally praising Trump and claiming it’s all a hoax as they were taking their dying breaths?
These people will praise Trump’s name while staring down the bullet he ordered to be fired at them.
I don’t mean to sound cynical, but as the saying goes, if I had a nickel for every time I heard “That is the line in the sand! That is what it will take to get MAGA to abandon him!”, my unborn grandkids would never have to work a day in their lives.
You’re right, it’s a cult by every measure. I just think there are levels. There’s the “I will praise Trump as he strangles me to death” type people. But there are also the “I vote R because I like guns” or “I’m against abortion.” A lot of people do end up voting on a single issue or a select few. I think being shot at might make those people reconsider.

They might abandon him when people start shooting back. That’s what it will take

I’d like to think so too. You know, common sense and all that. Unfortunately, evidence seems to point in the opposite direction.
I hate that I have to agree with you
