    It does start to look like another step on the journey to the land of “you won’t need to vote”

    Weed out politic nay-sayers directly… we’re already seeing some of that going on.

    Then make being a member of the armed-forces ideologically untenable for those who aren’t worshipping orange. Trump’s actions must be impacting the national-pride aspect of serving for some (and changing the political disposition at the recruiting office).

    If this is effective, in three years, maybe you’ll have a military significantly dominated by active supporters (or at least fence-sitters)… Now that opens up some options.
