A lot of that is exactly what I was saying.

A bunch of undisciplined thugs wouldn’t function as an actual army? What would Trump have to do to solve this situation? Hitler chose the purge… wonder what Trump would do.

Yeah that’s what I saying. Hitler needed the real military because he was going to war with the Allies. Hitler knew he was going to war. You can’t do that 1) with a bunch of thugs, and 2) you can’t do that if thugs are in charge of the military. So when Hitler got real control and the undying loyalty of the military, he disbanded the thugs.

Trump likely won’t get undying loyalty of the military, not the way Hitler did. So Trump will keep his thugs around.

I think Trump pardoned those 1500+ Jan 6. people specifically because of this. They’ll give him undying loyalty now and they know he can pardon them anyway, so they’d probably do whatever he wants. Though I’m not sure if he would literally give them orders. …

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Trump wants thugs around. He may not be able to give them direct orders, but he knows they will generally go the direction he wants. They will generally beat up antifa and black lives matter protesters and intimidate people. And Trump can say “won’t someone rid me of this turbulent priest” if he really wants.
