Team Trump Mulling Deploying Military to Streets on Day 1 if Elected: Report
The former president’s allies are developing a plan that would immediately deploy the military to the streets against potential demonstrators.
Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”

that's how you turn a cold civil war into a hot civil war
And yet not a single person with the power to do anything right now - is doing anything right now.
Motherfucker is still outright disrespecting our entire system of justice - or whatever is left of it for the rich.
Well if they actually punished people when they did something wrong, then it wouldn't look very good for decorum now would it?
If we cared for decorum then we would've never stopped wearing the white wigs.
Straight facts
This is not true at all. There are many very powerful people working very hard to make sure that he's not reelected. That you don't know about it says more about you than it does anyone else. You just aren't paying attention.
Correct. That's the plan
Honestly, I think that if Trump is in the General Election as a candidate, it could be civil war regardless of who wins. The hard right loves him, and would revolt if he lost, with cries of election stealing, and the hard left would lose their shit that they had to deal with him for another 4 years if he won. I'm hoping he gets disqualified, though I could see even that ending badly. At this point, I'm thinking a cabin in the woods is the best bet.
You guys only got one isolated revolt last time, and remarkably anyone who had a gun illegally didn't fire it, and anyone who had them legally didn't fire until it was the last option. Hopefully it won't get out of hand if he loses again, and I feel a whole lot better that someone stable is in charge for the lead up to a potential transfer of power this time.
All that said, I don't have high hopes. Bo Burnham said it best: how is the best case scenario Joe Biden
I'm jumping ship for Europe personally
