If Trump wins the election, US cities are at risk of military takeovers and mass deportations
Trump has repeatedly threatened to deploy the military inside major cities run by Democrats. Senior officials nationwide are preparing to defend their communities from his threats
Senior Democrats in US cities are preparing to defend their communities in the event of Donald Trump’s return to the White House after the former president has repeated threats that he would use presidential powers to seize control of major urban centers.
Trump has proposed deploying the military inside major cities largely run by Democrats to deal with protesters or to crush criminal gangs. He has threatened to dispatch large numbers of federal immigration agents to carry out mass deportations of undocumented people in so-called “sanctuary” cities.
He also aims to obliterate the progressive criminal justice policies of left-leaning prosecutors.
“In cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order … I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the national guard until safety is restored,” Trump says in the campaign platform for his bid to become the 47th US president, Agenda47.
Trump provoked uproar earlier this week when he called for US armed forces to be deployed against his political rivals – “the enemy within” – on election day next month. But his plans to use national guard troops and military personnel as a means to attack those he sees as his opponents go much wider than that, spanning entire cities with Democratic leadership.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Says the guy posting Amazon links and duplicates of the same old failed bill from 30 years ago as evidence for their claims that the current Democratic party wants to eliminate the second amendment.
Yea a book and bills from Democrats...but it doesnt count.
Says the guy who thinks that 39% of a group holds more sway over policy than the remaining 61%
Lol head in sand
Says the guy who literally tried to build a no-true-scotsman strawman 2 posts ago, and then just did DARVO shit when they got called on it.
Rofl yea sure thing, it's sad that any criticism of the left, is met by the same "nuh uh" response as the right wing idiots. Also you're the one doing the no-true-scotsman by suggesting all of my links are not democrats...
There's only 2 options here. Either you're a conservative troll...Or, you are using conservative troll fallacies to "back up" conservative troll propaganda, and you just can't recognize it.
I'm not either, but you really should look in the mirror and ask yourself why your rebuttal is literally the same shit the idiots on the red team do.
So what's it gonna be?
It's gonna be, I'm getting tired of the deflection and you putting fingers in your ears... you're boring me now.
Also you’re the one doing the no-true-scotsman by suggesting all of my links are not democrats…
Quote me, jackass.

Lol literally you saying none of my links count, and that 39% doesn't count...fuck outta here with your double speak bullshit.
Also find it hilarious you're at the name calling rebuttal lol
Look at that, you can't quote me, because I didn't fucking say it.
As for the name calling, you're the one lobbing false accusations at me, an insult beyond me calling you out for the stubborn donkey that you're acting like.
Lol sure thing kid. You're entire rebuttal was basically "those don't count"....so yes you absolutely did say it. Stop acting like you didn't.
No, my rebuttal was that you posted a bunch of bullshit opinions pieces, 30 year old theater bills and a fucking Amazon link as "evidence" that the Democratic party's platform wants to repeal the second amendment.
Your whole argument that I think those people don't count as Democrats (a no-true-scotsman) you invented in your 2nd comment to me. In case you fucking forgot, here it is.
So those %39 aren’t really Democrats? Got it…
This is literally you, building your own argument and attacking it instead of countering the argument that I put forward. Literally that is the definition of a strawman.
From Wikipedia :
A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.
Enough of this though, here is the DNC's platform for 2024
https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/
Feel free to look through it, and see what Democrats actually want to do, instead of believing bullshit republican propaganda about the Democrat platform.
Learn some shit, and then get lost. You're done here.
instead of believing bullshit republican propaganda about the Democrat platform.
Lol yea....all my links and the poll was republican propaganda.
Learn some shit, and then get lost. You're done here.
Lol ok kid
Your links are fucking laughable. No amount of Amazon shit, and opinions pieces are indicators of the platform for a political party. The most substantial thing was the 2 links to the same failed performance bill from 1994... Which was never intended to pass, it was intended to signal the alternative if we couldn't get an assault weapons ban.
You'd fucking know that if you were alive in the early 90's...like this "kid" was. You fucking lost, get over it.
Yea 39% isn't substantial. Got it.
Like 90s hahahah.
Listen to me... 39 Smaller than 61. Say it with me
39 is smaller than 61.
So let's get this straight, are you saying that the 39% are more substantial than the 61%?
My whole point is:
The idea that Democrats want to repeal the second amendment is fear mongering propaganda fed to the "muh guns" people by Republicans.
Democrats do not want to repeal the second amendment. It's not part of the platform, it's never been part of the platform in my entire life.
No, you can't just cherry pick a few opinion pieces and Amazon links as supporting "evidence" for your claim that Democrats want to repeal the 2nd amendment. A group of people is not a hive mind, it's a collection of individuals who have their own stances on every single issue presented. In the poll you posted, 8% of gun-loving Republicans wanted to repeal the 2nd amendment... Are they not Republicans because they disagree with the part on that issue? Do they matter? Of course they do, and it would be silly to deny it, but that minority does not determine policy positions for the party.
Democrats do not want to repeal the 2nd amendment, full stop.
If you said, "most of the people who want to repeal the second amendment are Democrats" I'd agree with you. If you said "more Democrats than Republicans want to repeal the second amendment" I'd agree with you, but saying that "The Democrats are hiding their desire to repeal the second amendment" is plainly false. It's not supported by the statistics, it's not supported by history. The only thing that supports it is a handful of opinion pieces and a few Amazon links.
Honestly, if you still can't understand this now, then you are either not representing yourself in good faith, or you are too far down the rabbit-hole to recognize logic or irony anymore. Either way, we should be done here. Unless you can come back with something substantial, like a recent (let's say, post 9-11) bill brought to the floor by a majority of Democrats in Congress, or a platform statement by Democrats setting a goal to repeal the 2nd amendment, or a poll showing more than 50% Democrat support for a 2A repeal, then your position, that Democrats want to repeal the second amendment, is not based in reality.
