"The far-left, disgraced Atlantic are openly calling on the U.S. Military to defy President Trump. This is called a coup.
What the treasonous and anti-democracy Atlantic is doing here is using the language of democracy to demand the military unravel democracy. I don’t link to fascist propaganda, but here are some examples:
“Trump clearly wants to use military power to exert more control over the American people, and soon, top U.S.-military commanders may have to decide whether they will refuse such orders from the commander in chief,” writes the Atlantic. “The president has determined—on his own—that he can go to war against ‘narco-terrorists,’ and he has furthermore decided that he can order the military to blow up these suspected drug runners at will.”
This is especially toxic:"As opposition grows and his popularity falls, Trump may be tempted to issue orders to the military that will be aimed at suppressing dissent, or disrupting elections, or detaining political figures; he has already floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could enable such actions. He may even become desperate enough to launch a foreign war—as he seems to be trying to do right now with Venezuela. If more of these orders come, how should the leaders of America’s armed forces respond?"
Here’s the closer:"The military do need some reassurance that they have support from their chain of command to resist illegal orders. And the rest of us, whether we’re elected officials or ordinary citizens, should do everything we can to let our fellow Americans in uniform know that if they risk their careers and even their freedom to protect the Constitution, we will stand with them."
Overall, the Atlantic is openly calling on members of the U.S. Military to launch a constitutional crisis by seizing control of the military from the President of the United States, who, per the U.S. Constitution, is the military’s sole commander-in-chief."Breitbart
