Hey, all you Trump supporters and Maga cult members, is
this what you REALLY WANT our country to be??? Then it
should be absolutely NO surprise whatsoever why so many
have issues with you.
"Trump Wants the Military to Target Americans Who
Oppose Him
Donald Trump proposed deploying military forces against
U.S. citizens who oppose him on election day.
"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,"
the former president told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo
when she asked if he expects "chaos on election day"
from immigrants. "We have some very bad people, some
sick people, radical left lunatics…. And it should be
easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or
if really necessary, by the military."
Throughout his campaign, Trump has laid out a dystopian
vision for America where the military uses violence to
detain and deport immigrants, suppress protests, and
target criminals. He has used fascistic, violent
language and recently repeated his vow to be a
"dictator" for "one day" if elected.
At a rally last year in Iowa, Trump promised to use
federal forces to "get crime out of our cities." He
went on to say that Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and
San Francisco were "crime dens" run by Democrats. As
Rolling Stone reported, during his time in the White
House, Trump became enamored with the idea of using
mass executions against gang members and drug kingpins.
The former president has also said he would send
potentially "hundreds of thousands" of troops to close
the southern border and construct immigrant detention
camps. He has threatened to engage the military in mass
deportations, which could trigger large public
demonstrations.
"I expect massive civil disobedience, and then violence
if Trump decides to suppress it using the military,"
Michael Klarman, a Harvard law professor and an expert
in executive power, told Rolling Stone last month.
In private emails from a Trump-aligned group obtained
by The New York Times, supporters discussed the idea of
using troops to "stop riots" by protesters.
"I would use certainly the National Guard, if the
police were unable to stop" protests, Trump told Time
magazine in April.
During his presidency, Trump proposed troops shoot
protesters and undocumented immigrants.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 grants the president broad
authority to use armed forces during emergencies to
quell civil unrest. "It's a huge blank check, it is
easily subject to abuse, it's easy to imagine abuse,"
Harvard law professor and Presidential Reform Project
leader Jack Goldsmith told NPR.
Democrats - including Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep.
Jamie Raskin - have been working to pass legislation
that would reform the law and impose restrictions. But
if Trump wins in November, it may already be too late.
Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat told NBC News that Trump's
threats to curb dissent are "out of the autocratic
playbook."
"As autocrats consolidate their power once they're in
office, anything that threatens their power, or exposes
their corruption, or releases information that's
harmful to them in any way becomes illegal," Ben-Ghiat
said.
"He's actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be
doing as head of state, which is what Orban does, Modi
is doing, Putin has long done," she added, naming the
dictatorial leaders of Hungary, India and Russia, all
of whom Trump has lavishly praised."

scary shit.
Better pucker up..if you don't kiss Trump's ass enough
to show your loyal enough, you could be carted off,
too.
If you complain, you could be raided and carted off.
If you protest, you could be shot.
If your ancestry isn't just right...you could be
proclaimed not a real citizen and carted off.
If you're the wrong religion, you could be rounded up.
This is fascism.
Welcome to 1939 Germany people, or present day North
Korea, or Russia with many open windows and gulags.
Pick up your brown shirt at the new United states of
Trump center being built in your town soon.

Fascism, yes. Even worse, Emperor vs. the Republic.
Have been watching "I Claudius" again, the similarities
of behavior, threats and issues are very familiar.
Would the Department of Homeland Security become the
Praetorian Guard?
With Trump as president any travesty will become as
common as his brain addled speeches.
And JD Vance would be VP and Johnson as Speaker?
Horrors. Holy Caligula.
