Illegally invoking the insurrection act as he is the insurrectionist

That doesn’t mean anything, because even if we all just sit there peacefully, he would still call it a riot.

To everyone’s complete lack of surprise. Except those who voted for this… cause they want it.
Ugh. Three more years to go of this at minimum? *Wonderful.*

It’s time we stopped saying Trump is doing anything. Maybe if we start giving Stephen Miller all the credit Trump will kick him out the same way he did with Steve Bannon when he started getting all the credit.

The positive thing is from what i see the deployment of the Guard is not going over well with most people beyond Trumps base. The public is not buying the lies that Portland is a war zone as well as Chicago. And if they stop and think for a second it becomes clear it is Trump and ice that is trying to escalate everything. I noticed in Portland every time the protesters started to relax sit down take a break ice would then unload pepper balls into them shooting from the roof. To me it seemed planned to keep the protesters on edge and was not conductive in any sort of de escalation.

If somehow the Dems take back power (I don’t believe for a second there will be free and fair elections but, obviously, I might be wrong), most of you Americans really are just going to move on like this was a normal presidency, aren’t you?

Military and law enforcement are not required to act
The president is violating the law
The military act on basis of constitution not a psychopath
Those that do ARE the ENEMY

I literally just left the Foundation Freedom Theater at the WWII Museum in New Orleans. This is a 4D presentation on the lessons of the war, why we fought, and the message on the back of the Medals our GIs came home with. It says Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Fear and Want. It is one of the most stirring pieces of pro-democracy, Pro-American pieces of propaganda you could ever want to see.
It made my stomach turn. All of things it portrayed as leading to the war are happening right now, here at home. All of the things we went to fight for, these bastards are taking from us, a little bit more, every day. I wasn’t before, but now I will be going to No Kings, and every other march I can find. I was frightened, but I’d rather be arrested and attacked than to be remembered as one of those who was too complacent to resist.

Someone who literally incited an insurrection is now in a position to invoke the insurrection act? This is fucking insane

When you use executive orders to designate protestors as terrorist and then send military and ice into blue states which will evoke a response and then he has those people arrested or “disappeared”. This will leave only the MAGA or GOP supporting states. So it’s a playbook how to take over a country using rules and laws. Same plan hitler had starting 1930. By 1933 everything was on a path to totalitarianism. Enjoy the American reich if you aren’t rounded up into a concentration camp.

So uh, what’s the plan, other than let soldiers and ICE stomp around intimidating civilians?

Everybody knows this. I believe the moment Trump starts killing innocent people on national TV, he’s in deep shit because then he’ll force the military to rise against him.
Then it’s game over. Without the military, he ultimately has little power.

I wish Americans would be able to see this plan of action now instead of always reacting after it happens . He really wants the military to enforce his rule.

He’s going to do it regardless so surrendering before he exerts any pressure isn’t exactly a solution, either.

It’s literally the Nazi playbook.
what an arsonist firefighter method…. seriously…
This is pretty much how the project 2025 architects said it should go, it’s been planned for sometime, remember https://climate-reporting.org/undercover-in-project-2025/ ?
I see Miller has been in his ear again.
Everyone needs to realize that this is just a massive smoke screen to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
They’ve even expanded what it means to be a terrorist organization just to have extra cause to blame nearly anything on “terror”.
This is the plan. Poke the bear until the bear pokes back. Then cal foul.
Putin loves this !
