A former president of the United States went off on an autocratic soliloquy—happily ditching his teleprompter for some of it—to a group that included self-identified Nazis. He again warned that he was the singular figure, the “last chance” standing between ordinary citizens and the “bloodshed, chaos, and violent crime” that he claims has now arrived at the hands of roving gangs of terrorists and criminals. At the ballot box, he said, “they” will get a “reckoning, like they haven’t even imagined before. We’re gonna straighten out our country,” he said.
Who is “they”? you might wonder. “They” are the people, it seems, who do not support Donald Trump, the fellow American citizens who are in his eyes “vermin” and whom he referred to at CPAC as “thugs and tyrants and fascists, scoundrels, and rogues.” Meanwhile, he decried the incarceration of the “hostages” who are serving time for the January 6 insurrection, claiming that “there’s never been in the history of our country a group of people treated the way they’ve been treated.”
Every dictator needs a loyal corps of people willing to do violence on his behalf, and Trump seems to think he has such brigades, biding their time and stewing in federal prisons, merely awaiting his return. He may well be right. For now, however, too many Americans seem oddly disconnected from these and other authoritarian plans Trump continues to share so openly and candidly.
That's kinda my point. The military doesn't do one thing to defend freedom inside the United States. We ain't free because the military killed poppy farmers in Afghanistan. Ooorah. And now those poppy farmers ain't free any more than they've ever been. It was a helluva long slog just to resupply the Taliban.
The civil service defends freedom inside the United States, not the military. Maybe that's why civil servants are vermin.
What a piece of fucking bullshit. Any video that begins with a face full of Ronald Reagan is selling nothing more than lies. Reagan is dead. Let the damned California Democrat stay dead.
The video is nothing more than badly crafted propaganda hoping to indoctrinate idiots.

Well, hate to break Godwin's Law but many of Hitler's followers were thugs
And I resent being called vermin! I served my country loyally. How many of his terrorist loving thugs can say that?
Yeah, civil service doesn't count. Civil servants are all vermin. Ronald Reagan said so.
Only those trained to use weapons of mass destruction can defend freedom around the world.
Thank-you G! I did not know that
I was military!
