I'm an outspoken left leaning asshole, but I care and if you listen and you can get past the typos I might seem coherent. I love it when weirdos DM me, feel free to DM me I'll say some crazy shit at you. 1 DM account deleted so far.

Some people are saying Trump is threatening to shoot a tomahawk at a no king's protest. I think Trump is attempting to intimidate and generally cow his opposition, but didn't threaten to actually shoot us. He wants to shoot while the protest is going somewhere else.

Unpacking claim Trump planned 'show of force' by firing missiles into California during protests
Rumors that a major California freeway would be shut down for a missile demonstration were refuted in a statement from the Marine Corps.

She is, the second person to block me in today, which is two more than usual.

Both over pretty calm situations, and both way earlier than I would have expected.

I don't think either people were interested in actually exchanging ideas. If you can change my mind about anything, please do.
I am dubious as to the idea that Reagan loved the United States, but I could be swayed with evidence.

Reagan is the originator of trickle-down economics. A tool for tricking the poor and to paying more taxes to benefit billionaires. That seems like peak country hating to me.
Ellie, this feels really mean-spirited. It implies I'm doing nothing, and I don't think that was intentional.

I'm speaking honestly and from a place of genuine concern about something I think is an actual problem. I think recounting history has real value, because better can't be going backward.
In principle this seems much preferable to violence.

We can see several active efforts by fascists and their predecessors to rig elections. Gerrymandering, VoterID, cooking the census, buying voting machine companies.

What do we do when elections fail?
They may be referring to the constant subjugation of American citizens based on race things like internment camps, Jim Crow, segregation, and today ICE.

Almost all of these were ideologies that helped conserve the existing power base. It isn't a literal guarantee, but it's close.

Warning, this link includes real historical violence: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_r...

This is a real event that really happened where American white supremacists targeted American black people.

I don't think the modern US Navy will shoot at states, we should have calm discourse in advance in case
Seems that she blocked me, a shame. Just like the students you're highlighting, we need to be able to have level-headed conversations about these things.

Peaceful times are not something we get for free. If we can stay educated on top of them, we can keep them for the cheap price of discourse.

I'm not trying to fear monger. I'm trying to describe what could actually happen as people in this discourse have pointed out, it has before.

For anyone who doesn't believe this can happen: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_r...

Ideally, we have peace, but the Civil Air Patrol dropped bombs on Tulsa.

I don't see why John Lennon is a credible source on anything, other than perhaps how to write music.

Systems can be set up different ways to promote or discourage violence.

Right now, the GOP controls the Whitehouse, Senate, Congress, Courts, and several state governments. Violence might be needed
Part of why I want Trump gone is that I want our prison safe enough that prison rape jokes stop being funny. Trump is heavily aligned with for-profit prisons, and rape opportunities exist because it costs the oligarchs money to prevent them.
As for proud boys being a minor fraction of population, you are absolutely correct. However, Imeant them as a stand-in for people extremely sympathetic to Trump's goals. Something like one in three Americans is a wild raging racist, christian Nationalists support Trump even now, et al. 2/2
I am trying to prevent an overestimation of the concept of guns.

Even just a handful in the population will cause a lot of friction for ruling class that doesn't want to wipe people out. But if it gets that far, look at the massacre of Tulsa (aka black wall st) or Gaza.

1/2
That is possible and absolutely horrifying.

If it's coded by capitalist, there will still be security exploits.
Step 11 has functionally we already happened.

Most gun owners are aligned with Trump.

And guns aren't modern arms anyway. There's nothing your gun can do against a modern military piece of armor or plane. If they want an upity neighborhood gone, it's gone. See Gaza.

We might need a military coup.
Armed in this day and age means very different things than armed in the day of the Constitution. Consider the massacre at Black Wall Street. They use the Civil Air Patrol to bomb civilian houses. Your personal firearm means nothing if they decide to napalm your whole neighborhood from an F-16.
The gun's rights organization in the U.S. have been pretty fundamentally racist and gun ownership between Republicans and Democrats is pretty lopsided.

doing things like deputizing existing gun owners who are aligned has done a lot to effectively disarm civilians. Proud boys won't fight tyranny.
This is all too plausible as a scenario, but you're leaving out an alternate possible step 4.

4. The military acts on its own crushes ICE and deposes Trump.

As an attempt to prevent or mitigate this, this is why Trump worked so hard to get the paychecks.
