The former president’s allies are developing a plan that would immediately deploy the military to the streets against potential demonstrators.
Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”
I hate this fucking timeline so much. So many in the media seem to be working toward normalizing this obvious march into fascism, and pivoting to stupid horse race bullshit (the average voter thinks Biden is "too old" and so on).
If donnie "wins" the election (likely only the EC again) then this country is just so fucked. It's over at that point.
If he wins, we lose our democracy, it's as simple as that. I don't know that it will be permanent since I think that most of our institutions are strong enough to resist or at least slow-walk the implementation of a truly authoritarian state architecture, but it is going to be very ugly and a lot of Americans are going to suffer.
It's obvious that 2016 is the branching point of where we deviated from the prime timeline. There it's just too much foreshadowing about Hillary being the first female president, and everything seem to go wrong when we killed that gorilla. He Quantum immortalited it so he only died in this shitty timeline
