If they jail Trump, what’s next?
American Thinker ^ | 04/20/2024 | Clark Wren

Posted on 04/20/2024 9:50:46 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The insiders, the elites, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, are hoping our Soviet-styled Department of Justice (“show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime”) will keep rolling forward and steam-roll Donald Trump.

Although the Trump base is solidly with him and has stopped listening to anything the legacy press tries to manipulate us to believe, the Department of Justice has the power to incarcerate Trump if that is the will of the court.

What then? The elephant in the room is precisely what the talking heads won’t say. We have a constitutional crisis right now. Refusal to acknowledge the elephant doesn’t make it go away. A constitutional crisis, though, is not necessarily a bad thing.

It does, however, require people to think outside of the box, which makes most people uneasy. Nevertheless, when there is a great distance between what you are being told and what you are actually thinking, then change becomes inevitable and necessary. But it is not the change for which the insiders, the elites, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, are aiming.

The institutions, which are now firmly controlled by the elites, are not supposed to run this country. We are supposed to run this country. Again, the message we get bombarded with almost daily from the media has little effect on Trump’s base, but everyone is not in Trump’s base. There are many who are undecided, and an election can be determined by razor thin margins.

What Trump is claiming while he stands trial in New York is exactly what is happening, “election interference.” To put it another way, anything that can be done to rig the 2024 presidential election is being done.

A few people around me keep insisting that if this happens, the revolution will break out. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I'm with you. We can't even cancel our TV subscriptions to the media that is pushing this narrative because of our need to sit on our tails and be entertained by them, and we think we're going to fight them when push comes to shove?

A Republic with fake elections is not a
Republic any more. America has been under a dictatorship since Jan 6 2021 . All the actions since then are merely the growing pains of our new formed tyranny.

Democrats and spineless Republicans will move with unheard-of speed (for any government action) to remove him from all the ballots for November. Biden will call it a “constitutional crisis” and “temporarily” suspend the election. (We all know how long “temporary” government decrees last). Immediate action will be undertaken to define who can and who cannot run for federal office to “ensure that criminals are kept out of office”.

One thing i would like to address is IFPres Trump were to be jailed what kind of reaction( s) his supporters in govt be? As Gov Hochul said to investors in real estate, etc.. re: james & co trial “ dont worry- this just applies to Trump, we arent going after you”. Now isnt that the phoniest, evil thing ever said?

If he is jailed will it be business as usual for his supporters? What will they be doing in reaction to this or will any of them outright condemn this action and retreat into hypocrisy? Will any of them come to the realization the DOJ can come after them, too,on stretching the boundaries of the law.

imo life in the US wont ever be the same. there will be those clapping and acclaiming for a jailed Pres Trump not even realizing the consequences of THEIR applauding- i.e., The State can come after ordinary citizens in a much more powerful future way; yet to be revealed.

I just posted a few thoughts like this because theres no word from senators and congressmen on what THEY would do or how they would react. Will it be as a solid group standing up for Pres Trump or will these people come to the microphone and say... ‘ too bad, back to work..., sorry..

these are just a few of my thoughts

Next is working their way down the list. The list includes FReepers. I am confident the NSA or another government agency knows who we all are. If we put up a little too much resistance, they’ll be coming for us.
Elections will continue to be stolen, people continue to get dumber and more gullible and the USA will be stamped out.

The democrats have been counting on people, since 2016, that the daily barrage against Trump will tire out even Trump supporters. This is and has been their strategy. I believe if Trump would be jailed for defying the gag order, that might be his Waterloo.

I don’t know this country anymore. It’s because of stuff like this that makes I wish I lived on an island by myself, or at with other like-minded individuals.

....the revolution will break out...

My prediction for open revolt is when they come for our guns. That is what set off the American Revolution on April 19th 1775. The politicians at the time merely caught up with facts already in play on July 4th 1776.

I don’t think the question is ‘what’ but ‘who’. They’ve already taken a couple of shots at Ken Paxton (a felony prosecution and an impeachment proceeding). DeSantis is probably on their list. Kennedy can probably be marginalized to not be a threat; if they do get concerned he’s likely to go on their list to target.

I don’t think Americans are at all prepared to resist this kind of tyranny. We are soft.

“ But when the institutions run this country and the people don’t, we become subjects — not citizens.”

We are already there.

All that’s left is for the people to realize it fully. As the Reich consolidates its power, it will become unmistakable. Then everyone will wonder why “someone didn’t do something about it” while they succumb meekly into survival mode as the tyranny clamps down hard.

If they jail Trump, they will have the opportunity to learn what an insurrection actually is.

(Hint - it’s not an EffBeeEye Ray Epps psyop).

Thank you for posting that Solzhenitsyn passage which we should read daily.

The better question is “who’s next”?
