Regarding Milley and January 6, it disturbs me for a number of reasons beyond the obvious. First, this is not just the military sounding the alarm about what happened, but what is going to happen. Fully two-thirds of Southern Republicans want to secede, for God's sake.
I understand why they sat on it. They dodged the bullet, and to say more at the time would have looked like a military coup. But the military was in a nearly untenable position, and they see conditions developing that will easily put them back there, or worse.
Equally disturbing is it won't amount to much. Four years of "Reichstag" this, "death squads" that. People are tired. They reassure themselves with "the former guy" and all that stuff. But this is actually serious in the way so many people pretended other things were.
Mark my word, Biden is an interregnum. The worst fights are to come.
