Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she is worried that President Donald Trump will use the war in Iran to try to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
All of politics ultimately boils down to whether you can muster a sufficiently powerful armed force to do your bidding, and no armed force in America will stand up to Trump at this rate.
He could try forcing the army to attack US cities, that probably wouldn’t work well for a number of reasons. On the other side, states have enough National Guard forces that would not listen to an illegitimate president over their own governors. If it comes to that, the US is already cooked, and all bets are off on who wins.
This is assuming that military command won’t follow his orders, Democratic governors won’t instantly capitulate and/or that the National Guard won’t follow Trump anyway. The assumption that the National Guard will automatically follow their state government in particular is very flimsy, since Trump appeals to conservatives across the country. Even in a blue state you’ll find lots of MAGAts, and there’s nothing preventing them from joining the national guard. Do you have a source the NG is particularly left-leaning?
National guard troops aren’t strongly political, they do however follow chain of command. It’s not that they’re maga or not, it’s that their command structure hasn’t been purged by the regime, and every governor has already reviewed their command since Trump started fucking with the states.
