Team Trump Mulling Deploying Military to Streets on Day 1 if Elected: Report
The former president’s allies are developing a plan that would immediately deploy the military to the streets against potential demonstrators.

It's funny, because I've often wondered just how it was that Germany came to be dominated by the Nazis, because it just seems too insane to even be possible.
And now I'm watching the same basic thing play out in the US, and I still don't understand how it's happening, and it still seems too insane to even be possible.
The Democrats could change things now, but they aren't.
Not doing anything is being complicitWhat could they change?
What they can do is win the election in a big way, and finally discredit Trumpism.
How? What, exactly, are they not doing? They lack control of Congress and the Supreme Court. Anything Biden tries that would limit it would wind up struct down by the Federal courts. At least that's my view, so please, by all means, explain to me how the Democrats are doing nothing and are complicit.
Promising The Day Of The Rope sure is one way to drive turnout.
They are acting like the fix is already in. My guess is Russia.
Fuckin yikes
That’s vastly understating the matter.
Him doing that would very likely kick off another civil war. Some governors would absolutely refuse to release their state national guards for this duty, which would be a massive constitutional crisis, but frankly probably way better than just letting it happen.
This is what I forgot about a few weeks ago, in the mess of all the awful things he's done, as one of the worst and most egregious reasons not to re-elect him.
Everyone remember in cities across the country, him deploying un-marked, unidentified federal law enforcement to protests to essentially kidnap protestors off the street.
These weren't the governors deploying the national guard either, or your local police/sheriff, if was Trump and his associates deploying federal officers.
I don't even honestly remember hearing what happened to many of these people, they were extrajudicial kidnappings; they weren't even read their rights, they just pulled up in unmarked vehicles, no clear display of badges, or identifying information covered up, and pulled people into their vehicles.
This was very much applied to BLM protestors, but could easily be applied to abortion protestors, or really any kind of protestor.
Reading up on it a bit now years later, apparently taken to a secondary location, then read their miranda rights, photographed, and questioned; released with no record of arrest. Very much not the way to handle protests
They're not mulling. That's the plan.
