The Christian Nationalists have been infiltrating the military for a very long time. I worked on a mother/infant unit in a military town for about ten years. Listening to the men talk about politics, the military, and religion was scary. I stopped trusting the military. If you are not familiar with the movement Tim Whitaker's substack is a good place to learn.
I've been waiting for the authoritarian to reach the military ranks. I figured it was coming as soon as he militarized the terrorist formerly known as ICE and deployed National Guard. I don't have a teen anymore, but I can still alert.
Jack, as always you nailed it. The portion of your newsletter addressing teens and MAGA was a great road map on how to properly communicate with my grandkids. I'm very grateful for these tools you've given me. Stay safe everyone!
I have 4 grandchildren, 2 of whom are in this age group. They live near a small close-knit town, attend a church that has lots of mutual aid focuses and have wonderful parents who are raising them on a working ranch. They all work it while being active members of their community.
I have my fears for them, naturally, but I trust their parents, even though I don’t agree with some of their “church stuff.”
I need to look into that further - if for no other reason, to ease my mind.
Thanks for building us a community here. It’s important.
We keep saying Trump. But really, he doesn't seem smart enough to come up with all these maneuvers. Isn't Stephen Miller (and a core few others) really in charge? They present, Trump rubber stamps. I know Trump is vile and evil. But he doesn't seem to be this smart if you call any of this smart. Miller is OZ behind the curtain? Trump the scary face on the screen? All gold and the like? He seems more interested in making the White House looking like a cheap version of MAL.

You speak the truth.
I’d rather go in Eyes Wide Open❗️
That’s what Trump has always done:
Test the Waters.
I forget now exactly what was said about Hillary Clinton at the time, but it was beyond the pale & years ago..
Trump was on one of the news stations at the time, either CNN or MSNBC & they asked him what he thought:
I’ll never forget what he said:
It depends.. On whether or not they get away with it❗️❗️❗️
