After the 2020 election, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Trump's supporters in the MAGA movement to Nazi brownshirts.
Milley reportedly viewed Trump as "The classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose." He drew parallels between Hitler's rhetoric and Trump's worries about the 2020 election.
The Joint Chiefs chairman has refused to publicly address issues raised in the book, a defense official told CNN. The official added that the general was not calling Trump a Nazi but he did insist that he had no choice but to respond to what he considered dangerous rhetoric from Trump and his supporters.
Milley's decision to compare Trump to Hitler and his remarks about Trump supporters should raise alarm bells.
Even on January 6, Trump told his supporters to remain peaceful for the protest at the Capitol.
The Joint Chiefs chairman's remarks about Trump supporters may be even more terrifying, however.
If the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saw Trump supporters as Nazi brownshirts, how does that not bode ill for conservatives in the military? While it is heartening to hear that the military would not go along with a coup against the Constitution, there is no evidence that Trump had planned such a coup and he certainly never attempted to execute it.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
