They hear exactly what they want to hear. I always imagine there are a few torn out pages in their family bibles at home where the Sermon of the mount was supposed to be. Can’t expose the young ones to all that socialism!

He’s their guy - that’s why he prevailed over Gucci Grace in the first place. As with every other secretive authoritarian regime, it’s hard to know how much power the big man on top wields over the generals - and how much power the generals wield over him. See also: Putin, Vladimir. Un, Kim-Jong.

In the Republican parallel universe, these things happen all the time.

That’s true. The “deep state” - which is really just the government bureaucracy, in this case, the military-industrial and intelligence complex - was quite content with Barack Obama, who did virtually nothing to reign them in after the excesses of the Bush years.

Let’s also give it up for the first officer of a Soviet submarine, who refused to sign off on a launch order when his captain and political commissar decided to take matters into their own hands.
