    The military is not going to do any of that. The US Joint Chiefs have made it clear on multiple occasions that they take their oath of office to uphold the US Constitution very seriously, including at least 2 times in direct opposition to Trump’s bullshit.

    They basically are the unofficial 4th branch of the US government, and their checks and balances are effective against fascists.

      Genuinely asking because I can’t seem to find it online - who decides who the joint chiefs are?
