Trump's speech was another incitement for violence. The Right views the military as an impediment against another insurrection/potential coup. This is why Trump & the Echo Chamber have been coordinating an assault on the legitimacy/stability of the military. It's important...1/

....to remember that 53 of the 500 people arrested for the Jan. 6th insurrection were former/current military. The Right knows the military has a potential extremist problem, except that rather than attempt to understand and solve the problem,...2/

...Trump, and the Right Wing Media Echo Chamber are attempting to exacerbate and inflame the problem.

The Echo Chamber knows that FOX is on nearly every TV in and around military bases, so when Ted Cruz talks about the military being emasculated....3/

......and when Matt Gaetz and J.D. Vance talk about the military losing wars....4/

...5/....

....and when Laura Ingraham calls for the defending the military as a means to "cancel" the Joint Chiefs of Staff (to own the libs)...6/....

.....and when Tucker Carlson not only states that General Milley is not brave or brilliant.....7/....

.....but also calls the highest ranking military officer a pig, and stupid.....8/....

This is all a coordinated attempt to sow doubt in military leadership and divisiveness in military leadership, because the military is an institution that relies on nearly unwavering/unquestioning adherence to the chain of command power structure.....9/

....Because if the Right can divide or destabilize the ranks with racial (anti"wokeness"), or competency ("emasculated") mischaracterizations.....it weakens yet another institution that stands in the way of their authoritarian movement. 10/

Bringing this back to Trump's speech, there were a lot of parallel themes leading up to January 6th. To date, there have been zero consequences for any of the incitement.

This has increased the chances of it happening again.
