    Now Americans need to rebel, so Trump can declare martial law.
    It’s all going according to his evil plan.
    I wouldn’t bet on the midterm elections actually taking place.
    I hope good Americans find a way out of this, but the path is getting muddy.

        That could absolutely be the smarter way to do it. But I think it would have to be rigged HARD, and that could be a problem, because that could make it to obvious.
        Where a declaration of Martial Law could seem more plausible to the average American. Just create a lie big enough as they say.

      It will probably go on as all totalitarian regimes go: either a lot of blood and then hopefully freedom again, or Russia Reloaded. The pigs in charge for sure won’t leave anything willingly, you have to hang them by the feet (in a Mussolinian way I mean) if you want to break out of it… Any day spent whining and protesting peacefully is one day closer to the end of democracy and one day less they have to really fight. The moment democracy is being shit on is not on the next Election Day, it’s right now.

      This is not just “good americans” this seems to be a coordinated effort to destablise every western country. It will soon be the UK, it will soon be Europe.

      I have seen right wing people in the UK saying, “The United States of Greeland” as if somehow, handing it over to the US is in our best interest. The world could genuinely be fucked.

        I don’t think they will, I have also written many posts that reflect that, I use the same numbers to say two thirds either voted for Trump, or were OK with him winning.
        If they weren’t OK with it they would have voted.
        So I think a very large portion of the population is actually OK with all the shit that is going on, or they don’t care.
        I also think the risk of American democracy ending with Trump is very high.
        How high IDK, maybe 20-30% or maybe higher. Certainly not below 20% And that’s an insanely high number for a country that has had democracy since 1789, although it was a very limited democracy, and it is still a deeply flawed democracy.
        But still many Americans have trusted the checks and balances, but Trump has shown several times that they don’t work.
        And the American population hasn’t shown nearly enough will to do anything to prevent it. And now we are at a point that even if they do, they may be playing directly into Trumps hands.
