I think it is going to get a lot worse, but I certainly take your point.
These are interesting times. Americans by and large have always insisted that they can overthrow a tyrannical government because their troops would “refuse” to uphold tyranny against their own people.
As we get closer to that situation becoming more than a hypothetical, more realistic arguments are beginning to receive prominance.
