Don’t forget that Donny’s having a birthday military parade coming up. We need to show up and sound off. If he wants America to be great we need to show how great we are against him and this regime.

Yes. The best thing that could happen would be for no one to show up
Edit: fix typo
-
Guess we all need smoke grenades
-
Or shoot them.

Those 77.3 million Trump voters must be loving all this.
It's a shame they aren't rounded up and shipping off somewhere.
-
Trump voters just want to see people they don’t like being hurt. That’s pretty much it. The boot on their opponent’s neck and inflict pain until they submit. They’re all about punishment.

there's a traitor right there within the executive branch
Within the executive? I think this time around it’s pretty safe to say the entire executive branch is an enemy organization within the government.
For the first Trump term sure, maybe a bunch of them were just innocent regular republicans who only want to hurt the people who “deserve” it. You know, wrong skin color, wrong balance sheet balance, wrong bloodline, the usual violations… But anybody there now cannot pretend like they don’t support the dismantling of our form of government.
…ok sure of course they can pretend. Delusion and dodging cognitive dissonance is like breathing for them. But they sure can’t deny it— shit wait yes they can and it will work. Never mind!

War on America? You guys realized that you have oil of your own and don't need to invade other countries anymore?
-
You're joking, but accurate with the recent push to start drilling in our national parks :(
-
The US produces the most oil of any country in the world, for several years now if I remember right

We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. Silence is acquiescence. We must be brave in resisting him. But we must not succumb to violence.
What is needed is peaceful civil disobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war.
Because peaceful civil disobedience definitely wont be met by force with 0 repercussions
-
I honestly do not believe anything short of violent revolt will achieve any results. I am happy to be proven wrong as someone who isn't really keen on that, but I just don't see it.
-
Well, you guys have guns. Time to use them what your founding fathers want you all to use them for, if it comes to it.

Russian scum

No troops have been deployed.
“Trump wants to deploy troops to look tough” is a better headline.
-
NYT has some video of some troops guarding the "Metropolitan Detention Center", so we have proof of at least the seven troops pictured.
-
I thought the national guard was mobilized ?
-
It has been there are videos of them in the area preparing to do whatever.
-
-
You're an idiot.
-
-
This ia what they have been waiting for.
-
Meanwhile the US citizens are hell-bent on speedrunning Martin Niemöller's best hits.
-
Even martial law doesn't allow him to deploy the military on American soil.

This is the point that will be referenced in history books as the beginning of the second civil war.
As if Americans won’t roll over and accept this as normal just as they have for every other batshit betrayal of their principles that’s taken place this century.
There is a point where people can't roll over and accept it. It's going to be when food and water scarcity becomes wider spread.
The goal for the last century was to reduce the ability for people to be self-sufficient and make them entirely reliant on an employer. When people can no longer rely on their employer for basic needs, things get fucky.
You gotta remember Americans are irrational, and largely unpredictable. In the long run, the goal of the regime will fail, but not before doing significant damage.
John Brown has been on my mind a lot, truly one of the greatest Americans to live, and he aptly said after Harper’s Ferry “I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”
Arguably, that was April 15. This is the first demonstration of force though. I say demonstration because they aren't actually doing anything yet other than trying to look big and tough.
