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.
Yea a book and bills from Democrats…but it doesnt count.
Lol head in sand
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…
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.
It’s gonna be, I’m getting tired of the deflection and you putting fingers in your ears… you’re boring me now.
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.
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 :
Enough of this though, here is the DNC’s platform for 2024

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.
Lol yea…all my links and the poll was republican propaganda.
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.
