Then the US military is no longer worthy of respect.

Trump is correcting a mistake he made the first term. In order to have a successful coup, you require military support. This term the Trump team started immediately filling the DoD with yesmen. I have zero doubt that by the time this term ends, if Trump wants to stay in office, the military will not intervene.

I doubt there will even be legit elections anyway. More like a referendum: "Do you like Trump. YES or no"

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I'm thinking you're both correct.

More like the Russian Annexion referendums:
"Do you want to enjoy our big-handed god emperor Donald Jesus Trump's power permanently? ☐ Yes"

considering all the recent elections were rigged, but none of them are even talked by the MSMS
