I mean you *can* just don't expect it to work out well...

I have no idea what these people think martial law is.

It’s like the people that say like “arrest all the police and military and put them in our abolished prison”

I have some thoughts as to how you *could* but the implications are ugly

Trying to figure out if the world’s richest man could still set up martial law with mercenaries

krissy.bsky.social•21 days ago

I wonder if he could hire that Wagner Group that Putin has. If he did, I guess they wouldn't be beholden to the Constitution and so could do as much harm as he wanted.

He might be able to do it more locally, using the out-of-work cops and agents that side with him, and the Proud Boy types with basement arsenals.

Alternate universe where Prigozhin marches on DC instead of Moscow

I don’t think there’s a private security force that wouldn’t immediately get pink misted by the US military.

As I’m starting to say everyday. The number 1 problem of our age is that most institutions and the people who run them are just deeply unserious.

The fascists of a century ago were just as crazy, evil, and maybe even as stupid. But they weren’t unserious (except maybe Mosley)

You can through mercenaries

Sadly we might find out.

To be fair, you could -declare- it. Enforcing it is the issue.
