    Well, that’s kind of the point. If something isn’t done to stop their fascist power grab, then no, it means nothing. But, the important thing is to realize that anti-fascism is still the majority, even if it has no power.

    Also, quick edit to add that it’s important to remember that the military is a class-based system. The majority of the service members who are Republicans are enlisted, i.e., of the lower class. The officer corps, the ones who actually make decisions, is more evenly split. In fact, if I remember correctly, there’s a slight majority of officers who are Democrats. I’d wager the reason for that is that officers are required to have a college degree, and there is a correlation between education and party alignment.
