Fun episode to do, but not fun subject matter. Civ-mil relations, plus what happens if Trump actually deploys the military internally

I am full of rage at Glenn Youngkin and just about half the American electorate, so I recorded an episode about it open.spotify.com/episode/04Ji...

This is brave, both because they are such painful and personal stories, and because the worst people in America will be targeting and hounding them and their families.
