(2,639 posts)Trumps placement of National Guard in D.C. is his first step towards that. I can only imagine the chagrin he felt when he found out the National guardsmen were not armed. He probably went ballistic, so to speak. Now the guardsmen are running around armed and you can bet they are being pressured to use their weapons.
It wont take much for a conflict to occur. Thats why he wants to put guardsman in Chicago and other blue cities. He wouldnt dare put them in a major red city or state. His goal is to have a conflict that he thinks will allow him to suspend constitutional rights and protections in furtherance of his intention to stop the electoral process.
Lets not forget he has said ,just yesterday, that he heard a lot of people say they want a dictator. Without enthusiasm he dismissed the idea. It is clear that he sees himself as that dictator in demand. I think it goes without saying that he doesnt consider anyone else qualified for the position.
Watch for his response to the first conflict of consequence. Guardsmen are not trained to be a civilian police force, they, are as is intended, to be a military Force. Yes, they often have been successful at aiding people in times of disaster. But when armed they will use their weapons. When you have a gun at hand, all problems seem like a target.
