Foxhole politics and the grift

This is what the Trump movement has become: a loyalty test wrapped in martial language. "If I had to pick a foxhole, I'd want Trump, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Elon Musk right there with me." These aren't people fighting in a foxhole. They're billionaires and politicians cashing checks while the actual military falls apart. USS George Washington is literally falling apart mid-deployment. Hegseth is stacking war lies. Trump threatened to bomb Oman over shipping lanes. But the pitch is always the same: you're either all in or you're quitting on America. That's the con. Real foxhole mentality would be noticing your government is broken and demanding it fix itself. Not pledging your soul to five guys who've never been in actual danger.
