I am not sure what you mean by falsified but is this OK? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-civil-service-loyalty-transition-b2678674.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic... "Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump's team, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter." That those charged with national security are culled for lack of loyalty should be very concerning - even to those who voted for this person.

  I am considering this in the context of 1930's history.

    Good for you! Myself, I agree with you that Chamberlain is a great model to understand Trump. Pretends to be a pacifist while buying time to strengthen the national economy to fight a big war everyone knows is inevitable because everyone wants it. FDR is also a great model for Trump to understand the political levers to crush both an unelected and disloyal deep state and legitimate opposition. However, may I also recommend you read a history book that doesn't bracket the world wars?

  > So Trump is demanding loyalty from the members of the National Security Council. Not the FTC. Not the DOE. No. He's demanding loyalty from everyone.

    Of course he is, he's a narcissist. A narcissist whose legitimate orders were disobeyed by the military and who has been shot at with the security state high on many people's suspect list. A cagey narcissist. But there was a very specific allegation that Trump is asking "civil servants" who they voted for. A claim that is, not only, unsubstantiated, but that deals with a very specific council that, above all others, serves at the president's behest. May I add that the NSC has been a nest of murderous assholes who draft the infamous kill-list that included a US citizen that Obama bragged of killing (and his underage son)? These people belong in a crime tribunal, not next door to the Oval Office.
