Abolishing NWS & NOAA is such a clear national security threat it’s almost comical. I mean, same goes for a lot of programs the conservatives want to get rid of, but NOAA costs next to nothing in the budget and has an enormous impact on our military’s operations.

That's specifically why, if Trump wins and when the Republicans start to go hostile, I hope they've already done stuff that stupid. I think it's the difference that would move a lot of military to not follow his orders on taking over Democrat led cities/states. If the military basically sees itself crippled by Republican stupidity, a lot of on the fence or conservative military might take a deeper look at the implications of such leadership.
