#2 Now watch the DOD's Woke Czar recall these guys to active duty, declare them domestic extremists, and cancel their retirements.

#4 How about they form a separate political party? With retired [and serving personnel] as members? The serving personnel would have to be covert about it, but once the numbers are sufficient it won't matter.

Form an All-American political party consisting only of retired personnel, veterans, LEOs from every agency screwed by the liberals, troopers, grunts, everyone and their families. Recruit good managers, techies, muscle, campaign and try and get serving personnel covertly on board. Go guerilla and hide your members' numbers and names for as long as you can. The resentments will only grow among nationalists for the next ten years, so use that. Try and reach at least a half of the nation's fighting forces [even if outed, they cannot be all replaced overnight by the brass with trannies and fruit pulp] onboard. Arrange for speeches, events and meetings where soldiers can voice their opinions alongside; safe spaces for patriots, community security for each other, escalate to 'peaceful' protesters. The money may be hard. At first. But with time funds will come too. Build a party that can play the game, promise realistic taxes, an end to appeasement and apology, security to industry and free enterprise, and replace the GOP cowboys with an alternative that has hair on its chest.

I know. I sound infantile. Wishful thinking at this point.
[In India, it would absolutely rock with the voter.]

#7 I wonder how many of them voted for The Big Guy?

#8 A significant percent of new Republican politicians are retired military, Dron. Why start a new party — which historically hasn’t worked well in America — when Donald Trump’s party is eager to bring them in?

#9 When the political officers said bad things about Trump, the media announced it from the rooftops 24/7.

Now... crickets.

It doesn't really matter. This country is in its death throes and it is just waiting until shit goes kinetic.

#10 I wonder how many of them voted for The Big Guy?
