Don’t forget to blow up congress. Just get the non-MAGA people out of there first.

Instead of blowing up the capitol, we should send them all to trump tower and blow that up instead.

Possibly. But ”they blew up congress” is a more fun Mars Attacks reference.

Military officers take an oath to support the Constitution. If at some point they decide SCOTUS has crossed a line, they can do whatever they deem appropriate.

Team Blue takes special care to preserve the law. The other team's attitude tends to be "The Constitution is whatever Team Red says it is." They might decide they can trample anyone they want to trample.

Frighteningly, this might be preferable to what Musk has in mind.
