It's call Fascism. It's not a slope. It's not slippery. This is treason.
- Doesn't really fit the treason definition, him potentially offering Alaska in a deal with Russia would be treason.
  
  Orchestrating an insurrection is also treason
That's why everyone in the military swears an oath to the Constitution...not the president. They're supposed to refuse any orders that violate that oath.
We'll see how many of them do.
- Unfortunately, it's an oath to follow orders from commander in chief. Enemies foreign or domestic is whoever the fuck President says is an enemy. It's not up to anyone else to argue/debate/determine if President could be an enemy of the constitution to disqualify following his orders. LIteral 80's sunglasses movie could have lizard people aliens in charge, with party profiting from their rule, but they are constitutional authority.
  
  This is not true. US soldiers swear an oath to obey the Constitution...not the individual President currently in charge. They are expected to follow the President's orders, unless those orders violate the Constitution. They have an obligation to refuse those orders, if they do.
Fuck calling it a slippery slope. Call it what it is a war crime and a fuck you to the right of due process. If they can claim something is "illegal" and kill anyone in the vicinity of it, then it's a framework to kill any dissenters.
They already did that long ago .... the difference now is that they can do it on American soil ...
.... but then again, they already did that too .... I mean they did kill their own president at one point.
Cops already been killing who-the-fuck-ever but yeah
We’re already there.
Again. Can kill anyone again. Like we haven't gone there before.
Batshit crazy and stupid pedo facist dictator is planning American genocide. Spoiler: we’ve already slipped down the slope
Come on, seriously? Not that Trump isn't doing this. But the US government has been doing this for generations.
