      2/ If it is a step towards authoritarianism, it is of a unique and historically unprecedented kind.

      3/ @HeerJeet asserts there is "a weakened president subservient to the military egging on armed fascists."

      5/ Instead, the military seems committed to the forever war but not to antidemocratic moves at home.

      6/ Military ascendancy can be seen as a peculiar kind of insistence on civilian predominance, except when a crazy man is in office.

      7/ That strikes me as very different from military rule past and present elsewhere.

      8/ The forever war of @HeerJeet's ostensible military authoritarianism is one that a pre-Trump bipartisan system produced + still supports.

      Agree on all counts. My line all along has been Trump is no outlier but pushing aspects of system to new extreme.
