I’m calling it now. Trump can’t seem to get people mad enough to violently resist him, so some MAGA zealots will take some pot shots at guardsman in a false flag operation so hat Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act and become dictator for life.
Edit: Wait…
The deployments will take place across the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, per Fox.
I confess that I assumed these deployments would be to blue states to create strife. These are pretty much all red states. Is he just trying to find all those violent undocumented immigrants he thinks are in the country?
Red states, but they are going to be showing up in the blue cities in those states
That’s a really good point.
They will hunt immigrants in red states. If blue states start protesting they will be deployed there to fight it. Once it’s normalized they will be deployed anywhere it benefits the government.
Secure the areas he’s strong in to prepare for Balkanization?
they’ll start with red states and go after blue counties/cities within them. the conservatives will be fed propaganda about how the liberals are protecting criminals in their own state and blah blah, this will further entrench MAGA and conservatives in general, and resistance will be used to justify spreading the deployment to more states, namely blue ones.
Its a power consolidation move.
One - as other commenter said he’ll go after blue havens in the red states
Two - it normalizes troops in the street for “his people” leading to greater complacency.
Three: when the red states don’t balk at the deployments, he can use that as ammo when he sends them to a blue state and they resist.
I wish that fat fucks health would fail already
“Crime” crackdown. Right.
Workin the mean streets of Salt Lake City, De Moines, Boise, and Cheyenne
They might even need to bring a water gun
This is purely for show. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. His bullshit is unscaleable.
“Crime crackdown” my ass.
Theatre of cruelty for his racist pig folowers.
Thank god… Nebraska can use all the help it can get. It’s a fucking hellscape over there.
I’m getting extremely angry at these fash headlines.
Chairman Trump is going to trample 19 sovereignties in order to make his tyrannical dreams come true.
Like fuck, it’s not hard.
It is irresponsible, and arguably downright evil to uncritically regurgitate what the dictator says in your headlines, The Dependent. Fuck you, you’re part of the problem.
