CMV: This is the gun grab.
Step 1: Create State Militas run by federal deputies
Step 2: revisit Heller, etc. and stress well run milita part.
Step 3: confiscate all non milita weapons.
Step 4: burn Constitution?
What protests?
Sure. Sure. Now, about all the child rape…
We already know the answer to that.
Trump, after signing the “restore the sanctity of christian marriage act”, which bans any sexual acts outside of marriage and without the intent of reproduction, as well as all forms of pornography, will get caught raping young girls in the white house, then he will instead rub it into the faces of liberals (read: everyone left of Mussolini) that he and other people in the system can do whatever they want. Then a TV advertisement about serving president Trump will explicitly say that “if you are loyal enough, you can even rape children”. Then Elon Musk begin tweeting about his new girlfriend, a very terrified looking 11 year old.
And they will still talk about defending children and women from rapists and pedophiles without the slightest hint of irony.
Well, obviously, they aren’t rapists and pedophiles, or the national guard would be hunting them down. Duh.
Sure. Use your guns to sieze the epstein files, hard drives, etc.
But do it before they are gone.
They will keep attacking and doing evil stuff while we want Files. They will give up power when pried from cold dead hands.
Time for a good ole fashioned coup.
What are we gonna do about it? Slam him?
British did exactly this when perpetrating the Boston massacre prior to the Revolution.
We know how that turned out for them.
Its almost like he wants the California National guard to repeatedly shove their bayonets up his ass and string him upside down from a telephone pole in the streets of DC.
Please, proceed…
This guy has the worldview and the emotional maturity of a toddler. After this whole thing has passed, there MUST guardrails put into place against this kind of individual
Who’s gonna put up guardrails? The useless democrats?
It’s up to each state’s governors.
We had a chance. Biden’s administration should have been solely focused on preventing the return and acceleration of fascism. Instead, they cowed to their corporate masters and threw crumbs to the people.
As others have said, we’ve likely had our last free election as the United States of America. Whatever follows should absolutely have guardrails against this happening again.
And heaven forbid they actually prosecute the guy who tried a violent coup against the government. At least Hitler served time in prison fir his failed coup
Do you think there’s nothing else to be done simply because elections are over? That just means we need to do something else.
I have a belief of what will be required, likely aligned to your something else. I just don’t think it is a good idea to broadcast it on the Internet.
This is likely the end of the road my friend, there is no “when this has passed”.
That is why there is no reason not to fight with everything you have now.
I don’t have a say in what happens in the US, I am fighting locally on our own issues here in Mayotte. I wasn’t trying to say fascism would “pass”, that was a poor choice of words. Let’s reword it to “when Trumpism is dead”.
That makes sense, keep up the good fight wherever you are and sorry to misinterpret you my bad!
Also, I did not know Mayotte was a place until today. Very cool!
Dziana Dzaha looks wild!!!

Not at all, don’t be it’s alright. Much strength to you as well in facing these dark times.
I walked around lake Dziani once, it’s covered in pale green algae such that the surface looks solid. It is a strange sight. There’s a few folk tales about it too (ghosts, spirits… I don’t remember the specifics)
This whole thing isn’t going to pass. Trump/Hegseth are only external expressions of the fundamental rot at the heart of America’s social, political and economic systems. America is in terminal decline and putting guardrails around the presidency is too little, too late
Yes, when I said “has passed”, I mean “when the people of the United States have vanquished this specific version of fascism”. I wasn’t suggesting that it was going to pass on its own.
Well… It’s not the first time the National Guard gunned down protesters. No one was ever held responsible for Kent State murders, and Kent State was not the only college that saw National Guard violence. 60 years ago, and in that time, no laws were changed to prevent it from happening again.
not to mention the Ludlow Massacre
Lol wut. That’s why they were created. To gun down strikers and protect companies.
Ah yes, protect the great american companies of the 17th century
The national guard of the 1600s was organized around fighting american indians to assist with the colonization of North America.
The modern national guard wasn’t formed until the Dick Act of 1903, after which they were almost immediately used to suppress labor strikes. You can look into the Colorado Labor Wars or the Ludlow Massacre for some contemporary examples.
you jest, but the defense of capital is a major reason for militarization of civil society - police in the US were originally slave catchers and private guards for the wealthy
Why? It doesn’t work. They’re there in DC and they still haven’t beat the shit out of Trump and imprisoned him.
Shouldn’t take much longer tbh
Just look at these idiots.
This picture, people will look back on this picture and wonder HTF.
Sorry for the lecture but…
This is the important shit. Please don’t get distracted. They are preparing for the next elections. They won’t go willingly.
Step 4: burn Constitution?
Nah, they’ll keep it as a holy book to swear on, while doing the opposite of what’s written in it.
Huh. Sounds familiar.
Ok then. This sounds exactly like the stuff all you Second Amendment aficionados have been warning about my entire life. I assume that you’re all prepping, and gearing up to take out these federal goons when they show up in your town. Right? I mean, if this isn’t it, then you’ve just been cosplaying that ‘don’t tread on me’ bravado this whole time. Time to put up.
Motherfucker the second amendment doesn’t only apply to “aficionados”, but all citizens. Where were you when they banned the most effective guns with which to resist tyranny?
So that means you’re stepping up too, right? You didn’t just ask me to go die alone for you because you couldn’t be bothered and maybe don’t like guns to begin with, right? You realize that there’s a difference between one guy with a gun and forty guys with guns, RIGHT?
Google Cliven Bundy or MFAC for admittedly unfavorable but effective examples of this, and then feel free to fuck off after that.
Or were you talking to the more numerous MAGA gun nuts who can’t wait to goose step over and kiss some boots and who obviously won’t be lifting a finger to stop any of this?
I hate your shitty, smug, and typical response because this shit is serious and you’re a fucking joke.
Google Cliven Bundy or MFAC for admittedly unfavorable but effective examples of this, and then feel free to fuck off after that.
That was before drones.
You should be learning from Hamas if you actually want to stand a chance in the modern world.
Sounds like you’re sitting this one out, then?
doing everything you can to combat the unhinged, gun-toting, lunatic stereotype, huh?
Bro chill. They were talking direct to all the people who scream that they need guns after the latest school shooting prompts people to talk about gun control. All the people who have guns “for self defense” because they believe that stealing a TV deserves the death penalty. All the people who claim that guns are important to stand up to tyranny while they vote for conservatives time after time.
You’re taking this to such a personal level and we’re [probably] not even talking about you.
The bundys were trying to pasture cattle whithout paying for it. Is that the tyranny they were fighting?
The only joke here is the defense of the bundys.
They’ll never think about it like that. Even though Ruby Ridge happened under Bush 41, the Weavers are all insane about Democrats. Even though most of them would suggest 9/11 was an Inside Job to pass the Patriot Act, under Bush 43, it was all Obama to blame for anything bad. Even though Trump banned bump stocks, it’s the Dems that love gun control (which they rarely ever actually pass). Even though James Brady was Reagan’s press secretary, the Brady Bill passed under Clinton right after Waco happened and the ATF made taking guns a national obsession with those people.
And immediately after Ruby Ridge, Waco happened. Trigger happy feds need prison. Lying cops need lead to the head.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.
There are 109,000 cities & town in the US. You are going to create a second ‘police’ department run by the Federal government (just like Russia has). That is a huge financial undertaking.
They’re run by the States.
That’s not how the Russian police works. They will be a Federal police department at the mercy of the orange illiterate dictator’s orders/whims.
We’re talking about the US National Guard
They can afford it. After all there are only two entries on the Republican federal budget: 1. grifting money. 2. money to the paramilitary to foment and subsequently suppress dissent.
“Trump thinks cops are bad at their job” should be the headline going forward.
That would be burying the lede
That is a huge financial undertaking.
Congress gave ICE $75 billion over four years, approximately $18.7 billion each year because daddy Trump demanded it. Added to the $10 billion Congress already appropriated ICE for fiscal year 2025 in March, ICE now has $28.7 billion at its disposal this year. ICE alone now has more budgeted than the entire Department of Justice.
WTF - this is as an out sider
