Re: Trump Thread
They haven't turned against the sitting President, they are merely reminding the rank and file that their oath is to the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. They are condemning violence, upholding rule of law and making clear that they recognize the results of the election with Biden as the 46th POTUS.
The only thing unique about any of the above is that it needs to be said at all.

This situation is the only reason I've been somewhat okay with Trump being incompetent at knowing how to utilize the government. Were he capable of using the tools of government he could have exploited COVID-19 to gain power, utilized his following to create an organized paramilitary wing like the SA or SS, sent them in the streets as patriots against the Floyd protestors and then used the overall unrest to declare a national emergency and seize more power.
His incompetency in managing the bureaucracy and intellectual laziness is the only reason he's failed to keep himself in office. Last week he attempted to create his 'Reichstag Fire' moment without any of the ground work laid beyond establishing a cult of personality following.
Like I've lamented before, the institutions have barely held their own but legislative power has failed to be a check on the power of the executive. Biden MUST in his term have Congress draft legislation to curb his own power, perhaps even a constitutional amendment.
