It’s from George Floyd protests

If General Milley will take control of our military 95% of the soldiers will follow him. When he arrests Trump, 85% of America will follow him. We can deal with the ones who don’t.

If you’re worried about our soldiers turning their guns on citizens because Trump wants us dead, read On Killing. It’s not that simple.

There were protests on President’s Day 2025, but that National Guard/shields thing was at a 2020 George Floyd protest.

Even if it is from 2020 it is still a good thing- that is not that long ago. during the demonstrations here where we lived at Jersey shore, at that time, the police got out in front and lead the demonstrators!

reply

jstshwup.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah it's still great..it's just not the most recent protests...doesn't take away from the awesomeness of it. I hope we similar acts during this resistance..we're gonna need some help.

If the protests continue to grow Trump has plans to invoke the Insurrection Act. This would allow Trump to use the military to attack protesters. It would be nice to know what Guardsmen are willing to do to prop up the Trump/Musk regime.

reply

luvforhumanity.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’ll have to play whackamole then… he doesn’t have enough troops federal or national guard to handle even 1/2 of the lower 48 states. If he does anything unthinkable, there will be consequences. They are not equipped to handle multiple insurgents in multiple states.

reply

b-ofhousestark.bsky.social•4 days ago

This. I believe he WILL try. It won’t work here.

reply

zettafrag.bsky.social•4 days ago

He doesn't have to use the National Guard, or any regulated militia. All he has to do is point to his "crowd", gesture towards protestors, and say "Fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you won't have a country anymore."

reply

luvforhumanity.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not too worried about that crowd. I grew up amongst them. They have no organizing ability and absolutely do not want to risk their necks. The 1/6/21 riot was mostly a bunch of cosplayers that got caught up in the fervor. Confession: I was trained in riot control and small arms in military.

reply

luvforhumanity.bsky.social•4 days ago

The way to describe most participants on 1/6/21 is by “Mob mentality”- Adrenaline triggered by a few ring leaders and this adrenaline rush makes you feel invincible. There was a young woman that was unlucky enough to get herself killed inside the Capitol because of this false fearlessness.

reply

luvforhumanity.bsky.social•4 days ago

Never forget that these same “Citizens Militia” types are going to have enough to take care of when their Medicaid is cut, daycare subsidies dry up, jobs dry up because the economy is going to fold etc.. many are in construction and that’s going to be hit real hard.
