As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Seems like he is still playing the "how far can I go"? game, and proving that Republicans get away with unimaginable things, while a Democrat is watched and bullied for a tan suit.
Excellent point.
like these right wingers who work in the fed govt now crying because they lost their jobs despite voting for trump
this is how they operate - Trump admin, billionaires, CEOs, big corporations etc. they are all linked. this article is just one example:

Trump may come to regret saying it -
that is if the sane people in the US can get up off their arses & stand up for their rights.

And a promise of a pardon, along with the wink and the nod.
Trump is the lowest of the low.
which is why the resistance has to become more than just an online identity for rage bait profit
and become the actual resistance it was named after
This entire thing is not just a "constitutional crisis." This is a terrorist attack on America, a terrorist attack from within, with countless lives destroyed, innumerable wounded and dead.
We The People Of These United States are getting sick and tired of the lawlessness and demand something to be done as the line in the sand has been crossed and at no point will we bow down, kiss a ring or give allegiance to an illegal alien and his orange puppet

"Any Extremist".
The only reason the founding fathers weren’t executed is because they won. We see them as hero’s because they won. But they were still traitors to the Crown.
Or is this a Stand back and Stand by order, to MAGA.

Call your politicians and read this!
Here’s how!!!
Part II
Also, there will be honeypots galore.
Trump always wants a do-over. He hates being on the losing end of anything.
To me,Trump’s tweet sounds like a siren call to his Jan 6th extremists/terrorists, to stand back and stand by for their next coup orders. FYI, they were Not and Never will be, “hostages/heroes”.
NO One Has To Break The Law, To Do What Is Right & Legal. Folks at the Kremlin are loving his “chit”
Standing by.
And they will do it again.
State houses are going to be on the list if Trump doesn't have success with the courts.
If all agree that government could be reformed and streamlined ?
There are plenty of better ways to do it

How are we supposed to defeat an enemy we can't even muster the courage and moral fortitude to name?
This is fascism
This is a signal to the brownshirts to get ready
WAKE UP!

Whether or not the Sun King actually said it, it was his MO.
Louis sought his glorification through war and conflict.
He believed in absolute and divine power of his rule.

Trump should be careful what he wishes for
Leaders don’t call for a specific attack, or target — but make a series of generic calls to action all while blurring the lines of law and vigilanteism.
He already pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists. He’s messaging to his supporters to do whatever he asks and he will pardon them.
if it comes to it. I just wish I could help the majority of Americans.
Kyle has been pretty spot on in his coverage of MAGA extremism and worth a follow to support local journalists really striving to educate. And warn.
Every grievance conservative with a gun is gonna be empowered to take action “for the sake of the country”
You are spot on though!
This is on you, Scotus.
Trump is not a king, he is not above the law.
He is the danger within and his views embolden extremists.
Right before he killed 77 people.
Most were kids attending a norwegian labor party camp.
