Q was right in that the military may be in control. What Q got wrong was the side they would be on. When Trump could not get Federal troops to help suppress the George Floyd riots last year in the District of Columbia, a Federal jurisdiction, and for which there was plenty of precedence (the Bonus Army in 1931, the MLK riots in 1969, the antiwar protests in 1969 and 1970), it was obvious the top brass was insubordinate. Actually, Trump was the least powerful President since Buchanan, as the military, the Federal law enforcement community, both parties in Congress, and the permanent bureaucracy were aligned against him.

The only thing that gives me hope is that Trump is still kicking. Somebody/something is protecting him and it’s not the SS.

Many times during the Trump presidency I told my wife that the US government was in rebellion, mostly in the shadows, but sometimes out right against a duly elected president and tacitly against the will of the American people.

If nothing changes the deep state/US military will pick the presidents from here on out, the new Praetorian Guards of modern times. And as history has shown us the Praetorian’s sucked at picking competent leaders for the most part. If you take away our strategic nuclear weapons our days are numbered. If an enemy ever determines we will NEVER use them they are anyway. We are firmly on the path of empire and into the ash heap of history as a great experiment that failed because of a bureaucratic take over, unless things change rapidly in the next two election cycles.

RNC did not support Trump. MAGA movement is new. Trump only had 4 years. Now he's out of office.
