In case anybody wondering how far we’ve gone along the establish-a-dictatorship road.
USING THE MILITARY AS A POLICE FORCE IS ILLEGAL. ANY SOLDIER COOPERATING WITH THIS IS OBEYING AN ILLEGAL ORDER.
In this case he is using the national gaurd, which through various laws, is not illegal.
The national gaurd is the only armed forces generally allowed to be deployed to U.S. soil, (although laws in the last 25 years have also changed that) and can be used for police actions when the situation is dire enough. (It is not the spirit of the law for depolyment of national gaurd to bully political opposition but its not specifically safeguarded bcs obviously congress would never let democracy be shot in front them, right?)
then throw in a flurry of laws from 9/11 till now, he technically has the authority to federalize national gaurd…
While he must lie about thier offical misson, he can technically do all this legally. Congress needs to step up and shut this down, but ofc GOP is all for the elimination of dissent.
Everything in our country right now is aslow cooker popping off, most of this stuff has been building for 40-60+ years.
How do you keep spelling guard incorrectly? Good grief.
It’s national gourd
That explains the mentality.
Many reason, when I was typing I didn’t realize I was spelling it incorrectly, I am sleep deprived, dizzy from the heat and I never was taught english proper. Learned to spell using ms word and learned grammer from a self bought copy of how to for dummies (yay american education[bonus fun fact about american education, did you know you dont need to learn algebra to graduate hs or get an associates degree? My bachelor program is gonna kill me).
I hated math. Luckily I didn’t need algebra.
yeah they don’t care
Are the USA’s militarized police not annoyed that their violent dominance of the streets is being usurped by actual soldiers with guns? Maybe they could fight it out among themselves?
Will the Bootlicker Brigade get annoyed that the boots they love to lick most are attacking their “enemies?”
I don’t think so, fam. I think we better start preparing for the inevitable.
And if you think this cancer doesn’t involve you, ask yourself what happens to the weaker non-fascist neighbors of fascist nations.
Everyone thinking “I can ride this out by not sticking my neck out” is in for a very serious disappointment indeed.
We’re fully aware in Canada that the fascism next door affects us. Trump came in on day one threatening to annex our country, and he hasn’t stopped with the threats and hostility.
There might be eventually come the day the orcs in the us or i like the call (New Confederate States of America) like they have the saying the south will rise again! About if not 300 M citizens at least 200 M plan to invade the rest of the world every single country must unite and drive the invading American rebels back to their land it will be relative easy since their soldiers will be overweight and lazy being lead by alcoholic Hegseth who already is talking about the confederate flag waiving over EU capital brussels or Bejing China)
As long as cops get paid to beat their wives and sexually assault their victims, they don’t care. Let the military deal with the person slaughtering children. They can just make tiktok videos and beat on the parents who try to be “The Good Guy With a Gun”
“There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”
So say we all!
Great, so they’re prepping for a civil war. At least they’re aware thats whats going to happen…fucking idiots.
Oh so like China or north Korea or any of those other free countries.
Neat.
They still need to form dedicated special operations kill teams for tracking down the higher priority/more violent dissidents.
20 years of counterinsurgency tactics is going to come back home.
An SS you say?
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Fuck the troops.
Look, I suspect a non-insignificant number of troops will look on this whole operation with disdain.
Roughly 30% of the US military is non-white with roughly 17% being black.
So I think there’s going to be a chunk who may just try not to do their new jobs very well. Especially when its clear that Trump is targeting cities with major black populations.
