I get the sinking feeling that a lot of Trump supporters are at a point where they simply won’t trust anything we tell them.
They’ve skillfully avoided the truth up to this point. They’ve drank enough kool-aid that they’ll remain resolute in their “rightness” through shitstorm after self-imposed shitstorm. It’s not about facts with them; it’s about their feels. Their feels tell them that they are right and everyone in their cult “community” agrees, so they must be correct.
The last thing that will convince them they were wrong, would be screamed realities from people they already don’t trust.
Sometimes, even active military members disagree with what they’re being made to do. If multiple units interact for the first time, would a new face still stand out? What if a person isn’t dressed the part long enough to even be spoken to? Or if someone in this scenario has military experience?
These questions are rhetorical, of course. I left the details open-ended in the first comment for a reason - I don’t know what exactly is going to happen every minute in the coming future. But, I can imagine scenarios occurring where lacking immediate and accurate ID of an individual in uniform can be taken advantage of. That’s all.
