The purpose of constantly invoking the specter of a dictatorship under Trump is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses.
By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president.
But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps.
She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he’s been subjected to.
The vice president, her voice rising in outrage, jabbed her finger at Baier and said, “You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”
At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn’t support him to be an enemy of the United States. “He is saying he would use the military to go after them.”
Earlier this week, during an audio town hall with Charlamagne Tha God, Harris claimed without a hint of irony that if Trump is elected he’ll use the Department of Justice “as a weapon against his political enemies,” adding, “You know who does that? Dictators do that.” At one point during the show, she agreed with a caller who said Trump will lock “anyone who doesn’t look white into camps,” replying, “You’ve hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well.”
That’s just a sampling from this week, but there are many other recent examples. In the waning weeks of the presidential election, Harris has been deploying increasingly extreme rhetoric about Trump and the dangers he poses to the country. Even before Harris seized the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden, the idea that Trump is an existential threat to American democracy was the refrain of the Biden campaign. Harris has taken that theme and run with it.
The purpose of it isn’t just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric).
Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November.
Consider the lopsidedness of the rhetoric between the Trump and Harris campaigns. Trump often makes sweeping (and mostly true) statements about the deep state, about the border and illegal immigration, about crime, about how Harris and the Democrats are destroying the country. But when he uses the phrase “destroying the country,” he’s talking about things like crime, homelessness, drug addiction, rampant inflation and the cost of groceries. These things, he says, are the result of policies Democrats have put in place. If you’re looking for someone to blame, he says, blame Biden and Harris, because all these problems are their fault.
But that’s not what Harris and the Democrats are doing with their rhetoric. They’re not making a case that crime and inflation will be worse under Trump because of his policies. Democrats aren’t really interested in policy.
What they’re doing is pushing a narrative that Trump is going to be a fascist dictator if he wins office and use the powers of the presidency to go after ordinary Americans. That’s an extreme and frankly unhinged position with no basis in reality. You don’t say things like that unless you’re hoping to provoke a strong reaction, and the reaction Democrats are hoping to provoke is violent resistance to a second Trump term.
After all, if you really thought that Trump would order the military and the Justice Department to round up you and your family, wouldn’t you do anything to stop him? Wouldn’t you take to the streets to save your country and thwart the rise of a fascist dictatorship? At least two would-be assassins have taken the Democrats’ anti-Trump rhetoric seriously. Harris is hoping that many more people will do so between now and Election Day, and respond by rejecting a second Trump term — in the streets, if they must.....SNIP
“...Priming Democrats For Violent Resistance If Trump Wins...”
It STILL won’t make her President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s just stupid and spiteful
Yup, Obama's army is here, well fed and and ready to go too the streets.
In 2020, gun sales increased due to the pandemic, social and political unrest, and economic instability. The 2024 election cycle may also lead to an increase in gun sales due to economic instability, gun violence, and legislative actions.
Approximately 16.7 million firearms were sold in 2023, and Americans have purchased nearly 1.4 million firearms per month in 2024.
Trouble's coming, and if we don't find the stones to fight back we're going to lose it all.... :(
“The purpose of constantly invoking the specter of a dictatorship under Trump is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses.”
Of coure... and it’s being set up as we speak
No one believes anything Liberals say
Uh... yeah, that's my entire point. Antifa is known for surprise attacks out of nowhere. And snipers don't usually announce themselves in advance.
The Biden/Harris administration has been a dictatorial, authoritarian attack on the entire idea of limited government and Constitutional restraints.
No candidate has ever before said such things in my lifetime.
And I’m old.
I was at the first Trump Inauguration and personally saw the violent criminals there.
This time will be like a Gov Waltz Wife Riot.
[[The purpose of constantly invoking the specter of a dictatorship under Trump is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses]]
Arrest them and put them in the cells that Jan 6 people are currently in for no legitimate reason!
Lol. Show me an Antifa sniper. They are mass attackers. I can shoot a pumpkin at 600 yards 10 out of 10 times. There is not an antifa in the world who can do that. We have the advantage if we have the will to do it.
The government is established as an agency to safeguard the natural rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. It is designed to act as a protector against the initiation of physical force, which is considered evil. A limited government is essential to ensure that the use of force is only retaliatory and defensive, not initiatory, thus preserving the freedom necessary for individuals to pursue their rational self-interest It is not fascism for a government to do this.
kammies statement about President Trumpnusing the military against American citizens is possibly alluding to using military resources to help the illegal invaders find their way to the border.
I fully expect widespread violence no matter who wins.
Won’t be fighting with signs and umbrellas this time. They may be surprised that our side may actually fight back.
When was the last time that a multitude of ballots cast by black men were canceled out by election fraud? If they didn’t know it then they’re going to know it this time, and rightly so. If it happens, I would encourage them, along with their fellow MAGA voters, to send MI SoS Jocelyn Benson, AG Nessel and Gov. Whitmer a strongly delivered message.
Yeah, but if they burn down a blue city — isn’t that a win for civilization?
Remember. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Democrats are already instilling the fear of mass deportations if Trump wins.
Riots start. People die.
O’Bozo Joe declares a National State of Emergency, giving himself dictatorial powers.
He then grants blanket pardons and legal status to all immigrants.
He resigns, handing over the Presidency to Harris.
She becomes the first female President and turns the DHS on those who object claiming that they are domestic terrorists.

BTTT
They have all, every one, turned into wide-eyed raving lunatics. They contort their faces like demons, talk over you in a conversation and scream at you if you disagree, and parrot the Dem/Left party line about Trump is Hitler without a thought -- they know it all by heart.
It's frickin' scary. Like physically dangerous scary. They act like they're possessed.
I really don't know how I can deal with them if Trump wins. Might have to go into hiding until the storm blows over in a few months. Not kidding.
Harris needs immediate professional help.
