    A student of history would know that Hitler had Röhm killed and the brownshirts disbanded to consolidate power once the opposition and “secular” state were subsumed by the Party. But I don’t think these people plan that far ahead.

      Iirc He got rid of the brown shirts when he got real control of the military, so he didn’t need them anymore. Trump will use the military for “legal” things and use/let the brown shirts do the illegal and messy things that competent officers wouldn’t do.
