  • This gives me such revolutionary war vibes. The “fathers of the revolution” were not revolutionist, they did not want independence from Britain, but wanted thier legal rights upheld. The monarchy feared what they might do and so sent soldiers after them labeling them as revolutionist. Thier message then became one agianst the monarchy, tensions continued to escalate and well, revolution.

    There is not an insurrection, there is not armies of rebels fighting to bring down the federal govermemt… but start a war agianst people and eventually they will stert defending themselves, then we will have a war.










  • 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.
