The Government is ashamed of the voting coalition that brought it to power and would rather have other voters voting for it. Hence why it is where it is.

Anyways, the current moment really reminds me that this book is both more than slightly batshit, but also remains an essential tool for understanding the current moment in the right wing.

One of the few redeeming qualities of Bertran de Born - who was perhaps history's most sincere and unapologetic warmonger - is that he absolutely hated Richard I and much of his warmongering was downstream of his desire to fuck up "Lord Yes-and-No"

Hereās a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?

An early argument of the Popular Anger Understanders that we were told to take seriously, was that at least Trump understood the US public had had enough of adventurous wars FFWD>> the Afghanistan withdrawal was the top tick of Biden's tenure, and all of MAGA is screaming for Operation Lebensraum

what orders "the US military" will or won't follow is situational dependent and never a blanket answer But JSOC (specifically DEVGRU, a certain TF at Bragg, and associated hangers-on) will *absolutely* follow orders to detain/otherwise do something to Dem pols, with the right made up predicate
