This is why they’re trying to deploy soldiers to Democratic-leaning areas

      Justice doesn’t play into it. This is what happens to a lot of guys in Miller’s position. At some point, your regime does have to solve actual problems. When all the people in the regime are fundamentally incompetent, the boss blames them for failure. Early on, this just means firing them. When they’ve consolidated more power, the term “firing” becomes more literal.

        Maybe. If Trump croaks, and Vance takes over, maybe he’ll purge Miller for being a potential threat to his power/control.

          No, it could easily happen before that. Everyone except Trump is replaceable, and that’s especially true if they fuck up in a very public way.

          In fact, Vance taking over and trying to purge the hardliners would hasten the split of the “true believers” away from Vance. That will happen, anyway, but it’d happen faster.

          For historical examples of what happens when the fascist boss is mad at you, see Rudolf Hess or everyone vaguely related to the July 20 assassination plot (even Rommel!).
