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.”
If he legitimately wins, the country is not worth saving, in my leftist opinion. I hope my beloved country isn't lost enough to let that happen. I'm going to focus on making sure he loses. Then we'll just have to deal with his next coup attempt.
lmao. You must be one of those "Joe Biden is a leftist" idiots if you think leftists inherently have any problem with an insurrection. The problem with the January 6th riot was that it was a bunch of Christofascists trying to install a fascist regime, not that they desecrated our holy institutions or some other liberal claptrap.
Edit: NVM, checked comment history, you are just a dumbass fascist.
You must be even dumber than the average bigot if you needed someone to spell that out for you. Leftists not respecting the US government isn't some new phenomenon.
It is kinda funny when leftists larp about how the sanctity of the US government was infringed (as if that's some moral crime) on January 6th when you are admitting they would do the exact same thing. You can find other people in this thread who said its not okay, so while you are speaking for yourself, there are definitely people who think that way.
The fuck are you talking about? I explicitly said its nonsense that the idea that the sanctity of the us government being infringed was the problem. People defending the institutions of the largest capitalist empire in history by definition are not leftists.
No, not the sanctity of the US government. The sanctity of democracy. You want a dictatorship. I want democracy. You and a couple thousand people trying to force your ideas on millions of Americans is morally bankrupt
They already did once you fucking fascist goofball.
I don't know how people can say shit like this after living through 2017-2021.
You fascist losers are the "let's break the peaceful transfer of power" bunch. You didn't let Joe status quo fucking Biden into power without deploying the gravy seals first.
