bruh if you want to solidify support around some project of basically stealing the 2024 election, there's no goddamn reason to ever go "uhhhh if the troops end up thinking 2024 is stolen there's a really good chance they just won't follow orders anymore"

There is no situation where you ever want to get the message out there that the military is catastrophically unreliable and won't be there to help you if Kamala Harris wins by 500 electors or whatever. First off, this is just demoralizing. Second, you're giving grunts ideas.

If Lockheed Martin were selling psionic clone troopers at a discount right now or whatever you could conceivably go "duh, of course this is just FUD, they're trying to get the pentagon to buy the new expensive clone troops". But there are no clone troopers here.

No matter how hysterical one's judgement of J6 is - no matter if these people think that everyone involved that day should *literally* face execution for sedition - there's no damn 12 dimensional chess play that makes you say "oh btw the military won't support us, welp".

Moreover, the idea that this is just a big ol lie to get libs scared of civil war is silly. Two reasons: first, you'll have to look a long time to find grunts who go "oh yeah I love Empress Kamala! I love Joe Biden! Long live trannydom!". The demography problem is well-known.

Second: getting libs seriously scared of a civil war will lead to libs preparing to fight a civil war. It just so happens that these preparations have a side effect in that they also tend to *trigger* civil war.

There's a bunch of serious rebukes one could try to make to the WaPo article, such as "you know, I actually think the troops are pretty loyal and that morale isn't all that bad". I mean I personally think that's just empirically incorrect, but it's a real argument.

But this FUD, 12-dimensional chess, wheels-within-wheels stuff is stupid, and especially so when someone saying "if the 2024 election is stolen troops might just riot, we have a huge problem" is supposed to be a 12-dimensional play to get people jazzed to steal 2024.
