    We all really need to hear this, trump is planning to take over our country again because the alternative is prison and/or his businesses disolve. We all have to be prepared, because he tried last time when he lost. Him losing the election isn’t necessarily going to stop this. Tubervile, the scapegoat, and all of the other Republicans are holding up promotions in the military for a reason, he has a judge making judgements for him in Florida and a stacked SCOTUS on his side, we really need to listen.

    “The people that are sounding the alarm loudest about what a second Trump term would mean are those who are closest to him.”

      It’s this. Trump is looking at prison because he actually did crimes. (Biden didn’t indict him. A jury of regular people did, so this is not Biden trying to put Trump in jail. Trump did crimes.) If Trump had enough loyalist in the right places, then Trump would have stayed in power. Trump and wicked republicans did have a plan to end our democracy. They will try again. Trump wants to use the military to force his will on us.

      And I am a gay man, atheist, and progressive/left. I am one of the “rats” Trump/maga wants to punish in their revenge presidency.

        As a mom of a special needs daughter, I fear for what he and the GOP have planned for my child’s and my basic human rights. I know they think I’m vermin. I cannot fathom what future they think my child should have.

          Have you considered getting armed and firearms training? Shit will get real next year and you might have to defend yourself and your daughter.

          We all desperately need to, in actual fact

            Citizens with guns are good for defending against regular criminals but if Trump gets the military we can’t fight against them.

              The same military that got run out of Afghanistan and Vietnam?

              Sure, that might have been due to “public pressure” or “politics” but I think bombing Chicago or rolling tanks down the highway in Dallas will be pretty unpopular, politically.

              Add to that the fact that there are a lot of very talented people who would suddenly have a very direct and morally unambiguous target. Did the FBI ever catch the dumb asshole who shot up the substation in NC a year or so back?

              It wouldn’t be a decisive win for either side. And who knows how many people in the military would defect, quit, or refuse to fight.

              We really don’t know what would happen in the scenario.

              You’re going to be hard pressed if you think most soldiers are going to be a-okay with dropping agent orange in their own hometown.
