Looking at the patterns of other authoritarian leadership transitions, my worry is that these militia types end up infiltrating communities and using their endowed immunity as a means to hold citizens hostage by demanding bribes for protection or to simply be left alone.

Unfortunately, this is so correct. Beware everyone.

Not just Democrats. Any Republicans who oppose him, as well.

Notably, the Jan. 6 defendants were bipartisan in their terrorizing. Let’s not forget the Josh Hawley sprint!

Well what is going to happen when they get pushed back?
Remember how they whined because people were protesting on their streets?
He called peaceful protestors thugs.

Nothing but facts right there.

Come get some! I hope Trumpers keep underestimating Democratic leaning persons. This shits gonna have nuts in it.

And more importantly are ALL policymakers, lawmakers who should KNOW better, who remain silent, if not outright support

He is a pab.

that's a misleading and inflammatory statement, pardons are a constitutional power and implying they legitimize violence is a baseless claim.

pardoning violent criminals is pretty inflammatory

Remember they are bully babies and will fold with vigorous push back.

Adolf Hitler to his Brownshirts - "If you terrorize Jews, I will let you off"

They’re domestic terrorists now beholden to fuckface.

They’re armed, organized & well funded

1000-1 says he employs them for wet work. Kicking in the doors of schools, homes & churches looking for non-whites or trans to assault & terrorize

This will be a bloody four years. Arm yourself

Get these trending. The Courts are NOT OUR SAVIOR.

Flowery speeches can't stop a unified government which has a rubber stamp at SCOTUS.

DISRUPT THE FLOW OF REVENUE TO THE BILLIONAIRES WHO ARE NOW RUNNING THE COUNTRY.
