Milley said Trump spread "the gospel of the Führer" via his lies about the 2020 election, and compared the former president's supporters to "Brownshirts in the streets," according quotes attributed to the general in an excerpt of the book, "I Alone Can Fix It," which was first reported on by New York Magazine on Wednesday. The Brownshirts were a violent paramilitary organization that played a central role in Hitler's rise to power by threatening those who opposed him, gaining their name from the color of the uniforms they wore.


The US Army general was concerned that Trump was deliberately provoking unrest in order to potentially find an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the military domestically, Leonnig and Rucker wrote.

Not long before the fatal insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, Milley said Trump was pushing the US toward the verge of having its own "Reichstag moment," the book said. The general was seemingly referring to an infamous incident in 1933 in which the German Parliament was deliberately set ablaze - an event that Hitler exploited to consolidate power and destroy Germany's flimsy democracy at the time.

Milley was widely criticized last summer after walking alongside Trump while in uniform as the president headed to a church for a photo-op after protestors nearby were dispersed with tear gas. The Pentagon's top general apologized not long after, stating that it was inappropriate for him to be there. "My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics,"

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who served as Pentagon chief under Trump from July 2019 to November 2020, defended Milley against the former president's attacks.

"Personal attacks on GEN Mark Milley and calls for him to resign are completely unwarranted," Esper said in a tweet. "He is an officer and person of impeccable integrity and professionalism."

Republicans generally no longer even try to deny they are overtly hostile to democracy and harbor an affinity for authoritarianism.
 
They're not going to f**king succeed': Top generals feared Trump would attempt a coup after election,

The top US military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, was so shaken that then-President Donald Trump and his allies might attempt a coup or take other dangerous or illegal measures after the November election that Milley and other top officials informally planned for different ways to stop Trump, according to excerpts of an upcoming book obtained by CNN.

The book, from Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, describes how Milley and the other Joint Chiefs discussed a plan to resign, one-by-one, rather than carry out orders from Trump that they considered to be illegal, dangerous or ill-advised.

The book recounts how for the first time in modern US history the nation's top military officer, whose role is to advise the president, was preparing for a showdown with the commander in chief because he feared a coup attempt after Trump lost the November election.

A lot of Masters and Doctoral theses will be written about Trump's era.

To really cement his name in the history books, Trump needs to incite massive violence killing hundreds....but just One-Good-Bomb-for-Trump would really make the era memorable. It's been tried before but unsuccessfully.

My fear was when Putin's puppet tRump and his fellow goons had a terrible and dangerous influence at the Pentagon and the U.S. military, especially when it came to those nuclear codes. Fortunately tRump and his un American deplorables did not succeed at destroying Democracy and turning the military against society, etc. It is with great relief that America has a legitimate president now after going through a challenging procedure to kick the 45 devil out of the White House, and a Biden administration that is there to serve the best interests of society, and with a U.S. armed force that has become a force to protect 'us', Democracy and the image of the U.S. in the world. For this I am truly grateful. I just hope it last indefinitely.
 
Joint Chiefs chairman feared potential ‘Reichstag moment’ aimed at keeping Trump in p

As Trump ceaselessly pushed false claims about the 2020 presidential election, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, grew more and more nervous, telling aides he feared that the president and his acolytes might attempt to use the military to stay in office, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker report in “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year.”

Milley described “a stomach-churning” feeling as he listened to Trump’s untrue complaints of election fraud, drawing a comparison to the 1933 attack on Germany’s parliament building that Hitler used as a pretext to establish a Nazi dictatorship.

tRump who is so far out sold to the devil spreads anything of a ghastly nature to incite violence, insurrection and mayhem within society and among humanity. tRump is no worse than a mad dog who should be put away to no longer have his destructive influence on the common decency of civilization. tRump is so low, he goes by any playbook to incite just the type of destructive reaction that a deranged and sick creature like him finds amusing.
 
Trump was extremely arrogant, selfish, and authoritarian. He is very immature for an old man. He had no characteristics of a statesman. We were lucky to make it through those 4 years. He is still stirring shit up.
