The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country.
As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show that many senior party officials and operatives are preparing for the possibility of a Trump victory. Accordingly, planning is focused on undermining the incoming president with enough violence to rock his administration. Prominent post-election scenarios forecast such widespread rioting that the newly elected president would be compelled to invoke the Insurrection Act. With some senior military officials refusing to follow Trump’s orders, according to the scenarios, the U.S. Armed Forces would split, leaving America on the edge of the abyss.
By vilifying Trump as a despotic madman who must be stopped before he can commence his reign of terror, the regime’s propaganda apparatus not only slanders Trump but also pre-emptively threatens the reputation, as well as the livelihood and perhaps the liberty, of current military personnel. The point is to push the military against Trump: When the time comes to act, will you stand for democracy or side with a tyrant who sees the military only as an instrument to advance his personal interests?

will they be armed with dildos and bongs?

No scratch that....

That’s when we’ll see what a real insurrection looks like, one backed by the agencies.
It will fail, because we’ll totally have his back.
I would get his wife and family out of the US till the election is called. The left has no morals or honor, they will stop at nothing for power.
Was it not Biden who recently changed the law to allow the US military to use lethal force against the civilian population?
Sounds like Nov 6 thru’ Jan 20 is the danger zone.
We'll see who wins the argument soon.
War with what besides an occasional pressure cooker in a deep blue city? Unlike 1920’s Germany and 1917 Russia, this movement is led by shrieking abortion-obsessed women, college kids, and sexual degenerates and not combat-hardened men. Not a constituency I am particularly afraid of. If the left expects to enlist the urban ground apes this time, they will be disappointed. This is all hyperbole and paranoia by sensationalists getting you to “Like and subscribe.”
At this point, the precedent has been set. If Trump wins the election, anyone who “causes trouble” can be thrown into solitary confinement. Trials can be held in 4 or 5 years. And as far as I’m concerned that includes everyone in the media.
How’s that work againt 9.. and ..
Even if the left is not preparing, I am preparing for whatever they may do. After voting on Tuesday I will be continuously armed no matter where I go, and if the law doesn’t permit me being armed I won’t go there. My generator has been tested, I have about 6 months of food stored, and I have neighbors who think like I do. I am preparing for that small minority of nut jobs who want to create havoc. If they come my way expecting an easy mark they should perhaps thing again...

Does a pope crap in the woods?

Yes. I saw that. And there appears to be very little coverage of this.
There has been a lot of talk the past few years about the USA separating into three countries. That had always confused me. But now, I could totally see it as the West coast seceding, followed by the Northeast and portions of the Midwest, leaving the rest of us in peace. And of course, once that happened, those areas would totally descend into chaos and anarchy, followed by tyrannical dictatorships and wall-building to prevent escape. Those areas would turn into Part 3 of Atlas Shrugged as the infrastructure and electrical grid collapsed into darkness.
They sure are. After 2016 what else can we expect?
And if there’s one, THEY’LL have started it.
It’s FAR more likely that they will conspire to get China to declare war and then assist them from the inside. We’re talking about people that would rather burn the whole thing to the ground than to allow four years of a Trump presidency.
I wish I could say it was hyperbole and paranoia, but the Left has shown us, on more occasions than I can count, that it’s true believers are willing to pick up a rifle and shoot.
Again, the left is claiming that Trump will do what they are planning for.
The response to such an action would not be an insurrection on our part. It would be a defense of the Republic of the United States against an internal insurrection. We’ve seen this movie before. The optics of that would be catastrophic for the ‘save democracy’ crowd.
The so-called “Jan 6” was NOT an insurrection!
What these leftists are planning iS an insurrection. and they are all violent traitors!
