During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

    Depends entirely on their ability to sell it. I know Trump has been purging anyone not loyal to him over the country from leadership, but will the ones left follow illegal orders? No one knows of course, but I have to believe a lot of them are going to be hesitant or unmotivated and confused.

    But yeah, Trump doesn’t need the military when he has ice, looks like. Though I’ll tell you, as a former soldier and person with eyes, I’d give the people much better chances against ice than the army.

      Yeah the conduct and “skill” of the ice paramilitary morons is one thing a resistance has going for it. The opposing conduct of the Minnesota National guard was another bright light.

      It’s still a bit hard to believe that maga can shoot the moon and go full coup, but if it does I expect messy confusion and mass refugee situations as a result. Is gonna suck. (More than it already does).
