Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

    I would argue that the powerlessness is not by design. Its a consequence. It is an immuno response.

    It is my sincere belief that the social contract still exists and that, in the grand scheme, all this happening now is the symptoms of a fever.

    The social contract is being tested. The system is working properly, if slower than we want. Our immune system is working correctly and the treatment is occurring in real time.

    If it is a cancer, we will be dead soon. And if it is a bad case of the flu. Well in that case, our immune system will balance it out. I hope. We arent taking any vaccinations, and the ones we took in the 1940s have worn off.

    This can be a booster shot, or a skipped immunization. But we actually have experienced this sickness before.

    Dont get me wrong. We are sick right now. But our job is to be the antibodies and white blood cells that regulate the system. Ive still got hope in it.
