I am looking forward to what happens when there are widespread protests to some Trump excess and he wants to deploy the military on US soil to quell them

In order to be in higher ranks of the military you have to prove why you wouldn’t openly attack the United States or take orders to do so. It means at best our military will do nothing and the chain of command could get caught flatfooted when an actual attack takes place.
Oh, I think martial law declarations, troops being ordered to fire on protestors & Proud Boys being deputized to crack skulls are all given within the next four years.
They weren't Trump Protests, specifically, but he did deploy Militarized Federal Agents to Portland, Oregon during his first term to "Quell unrest" after the death of George Floyd. Luckily the Mayor, Governor and both Senators were on top of his dictatorial actions and told him "Back off!"
I have no doubt it will be worse this time, but last time unmarked military who refused to identify themselves pulled people into unmarked vans. Might not have met your definition of fucked up but it met mine
Feels like people have already given up the fight. Way different than after the 2016 election. So much capitulation. I wouldn’t be surprised to see no large-scale protests/opposition.
I’m hoping people are just in shock/grief and then comes anger. That said, if we weren’t capitulating, we would have taken to the streets to ensure he wasn’t even allowed on the ballot!
He for sure will call out the military on American citizens sooner rather than later. He then will declare Martial Law just like all the other dictators throughout history have done before him.
It’s turning out that the book of Revelations wasn’t just the crazed writings of *one* of the Johns, exiled to the Isle of Patmos, probably eating hallucinogenic mushrooms all alone, while having visions of the end times?
Yeah. For several years I've half seriously called Trump the Antichrist.I think the "mark of the beast" could be either MAGA or a Christian cross tattooed on forehead.Those without mark can't trade/participate in commerce.The nations will fall like dominos.Fittingly we brought it on ourselves.
Oh, sort of like "the mark of the Beast" then. Ironically I was thinking the mark would be a Christian cross. According to Revelation, those without the mark can't trade or participate in commerce.
My bingo card has Hegseth trying to shuffle personnel around to create a Trumpublican Guard of loyalist "warriors" heavily skewed white (unlike the military as a whole) and a MAGA chain of command all the way down, which will then carry out domestic repression, especially in blue states.

What a joke, we were reduced to a joke the first time this clown was elected, now he’s going to ensure he’s never forgotten as he hurdles us towards complete ruin, we are sofa king fucked .
The military in general is young and diverse and politically divided not far off 50-50. But there are enough right-wing white-supremacist assholes like Hegseth that it could get very bad if they're somehow deliberately selected and put together.
I saw that one already, but it was a throat tat. Somehow I don’t think that gem had corporate recruiters beating down his door, so it’s probably not going to impact his employment opportunities.
Oh, I understand. The target will never see your comments but everyone else who does now knows how you feel about about fat people. It doesn't say anything new about Trump but it says a lot about you.
Civil war, probably. Tho there’s an argument to be made that the rightwing has been waging an asymmetric civil war against this country for decades now.
Taking to the streets is just theater. It is totally ineffective and will only spark Trump to react with violence. Our only weapon is economic. Unless you have other suggestions.

Including the ones he released from prison this week. Newest brownshirts
However, if you wanna lay odds on whether or not we hit the six-month mark before everything collapses into chaos...?
Shit. 🍄🟫🍄💩

Wonder if petey or the military ‘escort’ will say “hello… Petey it’s for you .. “
What is wrong with the truth?
Because the target takes it personally.

Not sure where the idea the kid was posting anti-trump material online came from. Was it a specific threat, do you know?
when peaceful protesters are subject arrest or beating for using wrongspeak
