Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins?
Thomas D. Klingenstein ^ | 10/28/2024 | Lee Smith

Posted on 10/29/2024 3:23:45 AM PDT by Adder

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.

I agree its a most likely scenario. The Left appears to be greasing the skids to do just that. They know thie "Trump is Hitler" is not doing anything except being used as a basis for further action. The purge and emasculation of our military under FJB enables just such a scenario. Lawfare will continue at a local or state level as long as there are leftist judges to go along. And they do not appear to be in short supply.

I’m not seeing a problem. According to the left:

If Trump is Hitler, 6 million liberals will die and the rest put in interment camps, political enemies will be in jail, all minorities will be deported and the military will be used to handle most of this.

Problem solved.

If the Democrats start a war just so they can hand it to Trump and say “Deal with this!” then I hope Trump uses emergency powers to “deal with” the Deep State. Like, send Marine detachments to arrest everyone in SES. Send the Marines to seize control of NSA archives, and release private emails, texts and financial records of every Democrat in Congress. And the Bidens, Obamas, Clinton, and Bushes. They want a war? Give them a war at home. Expose everything.

When Napoleon escaped the prison island of Elba and returned to France, didn’t the army rally back to him? I’m wondering if Trump is going to have his own “Napoleon moment”, in which he single handedly faces down an entire army?

I don’t think right now the Democratic plan is war with guns in the streets, I think if Trump wins violence will break out in Blue Cities and States like the George Floyd riots of 2020.

The violence will escalate because Democratic Mayors and Governors will do nothing to stop it.

I think violence will shift to Washington the closer it gets to certification of the electoral college vote, Democrats using the 14th Amendment will refuse to certify Trump violence in the city in an attempt to pressure a few Republican Never Trumpers to join them.

The Democrats have two other options, simply jail Trump on his NYC conviction or use professionals to give him the JFK treatment.

I think their actions could trigger war.

If Trump wins the popular vote and wins large electoral college victory it may thwart a lot of democratic Plans.

You just know that if Trump overcomes the cheat the left will cry foul and release the riot’s. Expect leftist strongholds to burn.

I’m sure they’re going to burn down their own cities. That’ll show us.

Among “normal” folks, yes. But not with the hard lefties. It only takes a relative few to cause widespread destruction, even if the just burn their own cities.
And if Trump makes moves with the Marines or calls out the guard, the lackies in the press will ratchet it up yelling “SEE? HITLER!”

The left is perpetually planning for war and have been since the McCarthy days. However these days rather than your basic leftist these commies prefer to fund antifa, street gangs and the like which certainly use violence. Don’t think ‘Trump’ has anything to with it either as the leftists (including the MSM) will go after the right and any president as long as we live.

If war breaks out in the cities, the populations there will be unable to find food in their stores. The trucks delivering food now will not roll into the war zones. We could see widespread, urban starvation that could trigger savage mobs. The result could descend into Old Testament levels of death.

"...but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country."

These are quiet, casual conversations I have had with like-minded patriot neighbors and friends from church.

I assume millions of these conversations have been taking place across the country.

Just sayin'

Yes.

All they will have left is the threat of causing chaos if their demands are not met.

One thing that Trump will want to do is cut spending.

I suspect a whole lot of Antifas are funded by NGOs who get government grants.

The slogan in north Minneapolis, during the race riots of the ‘60’s was “I’m so mad, I’m going to burn down my house!”
That’s exactly what they did.
