Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

If we fight back it will be an excuse for more bloodshed.

There is already Bloodshed. IF THEY WIN there will be Vast Amounts of people rounded up and more Blood SHED.
Steven Miller Noem, Hegseth and Trump are ALL Psycopaths who think shedding blood is a dandy idea. If they WIN they will be unchecked.
Two people already shot in Chicago and now a Federal Judge has her house burned down a day after Steven Miller says She needs to be impeached... ? this is not coincidence this is Stocastic Terrorism. They Want Civil War. Do you die on your feet Protesting for a return to RULE OF LAW or live on your knees waiting to be dragged off to the camps?? That is the choice now.

They are traitors to their country. Their totalitarian ideals are the opposite of what this country was founded on and for.

Don't call them anything but what they are.

Egotistical Fascists.

The Republicans haven’t won an honest Presidential election w/out cheating or been the legacy
of that cheating since 1956, their use of gerrymandering, the electoral college, packing of the Federal
Courts, and Citizens United has allowed the minority to control the majority. The billionaires, fossil
fuel industries, Crypto Con Men, the Christo Fascist aka Racist Christian Evangelicals, and the GOP
have used the 30 to 35 % of Americans who are racist, sexist, and anti intellectual they will always
vote Republican as a base to keep power.

I will be surprised if America and our democracy will rebound from this fascism we are now in.

Btw the Blue Whale is going to go exctint because our warming oceans will no longer support
the little crustaceans called krill that they eat and President Krasnov is now going to close
NOAA’s climate observatory on Mauna Loa which monitors atmospheric CO 2 levels.

In their indoctrinated MAGA pea brains they see no deterrent preventing them from doing whatever they want. They only see soft targets that cannot or do not fight back. We have put up with this right-wing shit since Eric Rudolph to the daily school, church and grocery store shootings. Law enforcement mostly tries to do their jobs, only to now be circumvented by the MAGA Government itself.

I'm not trying to sound like a RW gun nut, but this is getting bad.

They are just trying to promote violence by protestors and demonstrators so that they can, in their minds, justify inacting the "INSURRECTION ACT", CANCEL THE POSSE COMATUTUS ACT , AND HAVE THE ENTIRE US MILITARY ESTABLISH MARTIAL LAW ACROSS AMERICA, FOCUSING ON THE BLUE STATES.............

There is not enough active military in the U.S to do that, so it might also justify them closing Military Bases (esp in NATO countries) and bring those soldiers back to the U.S., Which would tickle the shit out of Putin, to enable him to attack countries around Russia, just like he is doing in Ukraine.
