Folks, Trump Is Advocating Anarchy

[kpete]

I lack words to describe how stupid and dangerous this is. If social distancing to conquer #COVID19 becomes a political and cultural war, we're all doomed.

Marching Orders:

2. @JoyceWhiteVance Has he been taking some of the snake oil he's been promoting as a cure?

9. I really like Joyce Vance but to be honest, I find this about as funny as

a hemorrhagic stroke in a loved one or osteosarcoma in a beloved dog.

[global1]

3. Please - Somebody Liberate Us From Trump......

make him resign or impeach him again.

[Zoonart]

4. Worse than stupid. CRIMINAL.

He is encouraging sedition! He is a traitor and now he is encouraging the overthrow of state governments and dissolution of the union.

[SoonerPride]

5. He is a sociopath. He wants to see the country burn because it is fun

He is a terrible danger to our lives.

Bet Susan Collins is "concerned."

[world wide wally]

24. He wants to see the country burn to keep his ass out of jail...Period

[riversedge]

42. Im with Fred!

[Solly Mack]

7. Inciting violence is what he is doing.

Though he'll claim otherwise once his followers act on their nature at his direction.

[Satch59]

8. This is beyond scary and he needs to called out on this...

Where are the elected officials now and not just Dems...if this escalates like we all know it can, this will be so damn dangerous. We can’t just be the ones screaming. I doubt there is anyone in that WH willing to stop him but is there anyone there who actually wants to see a civil war erupt during a pandemic? Is there no low he will go to try to get his base energized? His true base will do anything he asks...isn’t a vote enough, he now wants anarchy??

Minutes after a Fox News segment on a protest against social distancing measures outside the Minnesota governor's office, by conservative "Liberate Minnesota" group, Trump tweets "LIBERATE MINNESOTA!"

Left, Fox's America's Newsroom, 11:19 a.m.
Right, Trump, 11:21 a.m.

11. Shut the fuck up Donny

[Dem2]

12. Great, more of his moronic tweets

I can't seem to hide these threads fast enough. Time to close DU.

[Newest Reality]

13. Divide and conquer!

He knows that well. This is not ineptitude or insanity, this is a shrewd, manipulative mobster, (no really a mobster) running his own reality TV show. He has a knack for test marketing anything that will work and he has no concern, (or maybe wants) for the deprecation of the common folks, though he does make it seem like he would, huh? Brilliant.

The trick is to foment a greater division in the country and stir up that anarchy that was mentioned. If you can make it bad enough, you get to evoked martial law or tough measures to "contain" the mess you stirred up.

We are in the last legs of General Trump and the GOP's efforts here. I would bet Putin is getting his mobster money's worth, too. Oh, would that be traitor/treason territory?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. It's a power play; he thinks he can become dictator before the election.

[solara]

14. Sounds like sedition to me

Seditious conspiracy is generally defined as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state, treason is the more-serious offense of actively levying war against the United States or giving aid to its enemies. Another way of looking at it is that seditious conspiracy often occurs before an act of treason.

Sounds like just one more impeachable offense to add to impotus trump's obscenely long list of nearly treasonous offenses

[burrowowl]

49. Me too!

[superpatriotman]

15. People are going to get hurt

And not the 'magats', the good people.

[crickets]

16. Notice we're all talking about his tweets and not about his failures.

Day after day he comes up with another distraction technique to stir outrage and shift attention away from himself and his inability to govern. He's willing to do anything right now to change the focus from his complete failure to deal with the crisis.

Anything.

[jalan48]

20. +1

[Thekaspervote]

43. Yes, and we would all do well to remember this

Be wary.. but yes this is talk

Covid19 will take care of any planned insurrection, especially among his cult

Every military leader since the time of Hitites has known a sick army is worthless

[sarcasmo]

17. Inciting a riot using Twitter.

Any person who willfully incites or urges another to engage in a riot, and such inciting or urging is a contributing cause of a riot in which there is property damage in excess of fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500) or serious bodily injury, shall be punished as a Class F felon.

[Harker]

18. An armed riot.

He managed to bring 2nd Amendment rhetoric into it.

[johnthewoodworker]

19. This is absolutely wrong, and he will come out unscathed from this treason.

[LudwigPastorius]

21. If it isn't obvious to everyone by now that his mission is to tear this country apart,...

I don't know what to say.

Putin's little ass-puppet has got to be removed, indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and jailed.

[appalachiablue]

23. +1 What it is

[FightingIrish]

22. He meant to tweet "LIBERATE MICHIGAN"

He got confused and tweeted "LIBERATE MINNESOTA" by mistake. When that seemed too obvious, he threw in Virginia and gun rights. It's like when he blows a line in a teleprompter speech and and follows with the correct line without skipping a beat as though his error was actually in the speech.

[pazzyanne]

35. I heard that Minnesota and Idaho are getting protests later today.

In Minnesota, we have managed to keep the coronavirus rise low, but it has up-ticked the past few days. Any state they protest in will lose any gains that have be made so far, which may impact the length of sheltering at home. They are proclaiming their rights, but what about the rights of people who are working hard to lower the rise of COVID-19. They have rights, too.

[liberalmuse]

25. In saner times, he would have been taken out of the WH in cuffs.

He is advocating insurrection.

[Johnny2X2X]

26. THIS IS A DISTRACTION

Whenever Trump does something like this he's distracting from something. What else is going on today?

[BrightKnight]

50. It's like he is making a low budget zombie apocalypse movie. nt

[byronius]

27. "Fire!" in a crowded theater to cover his escape. Classic!

I've seen this movie. Ends badly for him. And some of us.

[FailureToCommunicate]

39. Spoiler alert... to the ending:

Appomattox

[byronius]

48. Is that not just the absolute truth?

Time and time and time again. Over and over.

[Thekaspervote]

44. Totally on point... thx!

[seta1950]

28. I think

Twitter should shut down his account , he is a danger to this country.

[SoonerPride]

31. Welcome to DU!

and yes I agree with you.

If I tweeted advocacy or sedition you can bet my account would be suspended or even closed for good.

[patphil]

38. If you tweeted the things Trump has tweeted, the FBI would be at your door.

[HotTeaBag]

32. I really have to wonder if tweets like this are prompting the execs at Twitter

to seriously consider it.

Of all of his twisted, pathetic, lying, propagandistic, horrible tweets, these few are actually the worst that I've ever seen.

They've crossed the line to being deadly. I can't believe an American President would ever actively seek to harm American citizens, and yet...

[ffr]

30. It's now the Kool Aid stage for his cult

Defend yourselves. Do not take it lightly that you are safe. Have backup.

[yaesu]

33. So, his he impeachable yet Sen Collins? nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

40. Thinking...thinking...thinking...

"Give me a few more minutes..."

[BadgerMom]

34. Report the tweets.

If you are on Twitter, report the tweets. If enough of us report them, eventually they may be impressed by the numbers. Of course, it’s reprehensible for him to tweet this. It’s also reprehensible for Twitter to amplify his evil, all for a buck. So much of our current predicament centers on how much we’ll put up with so others can make an extra buck on immorality.

[Pisces]

36. He wants a civil war and he wants to cancel the elections in Nov. We "the Dems" are not prepared

To deal with this megalomaniac. Bill Maher has been asking what is the plan when he refuses to leave. I think we better have one and a plan for what we will do when he calls his idiots to riot in October.

[Thekaspervote]

45. He can't cancel the elections.. that's not up to him

Besides it would not work for him. If there is no election his term is still over on Jan 20/2021 at noon and the speaker of the house becomes acting president

[Pisces]

46. That's to say he abdicates. You are stating this as if. He would follow the rules. He has not from

Day 1.

[CanonRay]

37. We must start calling for his immediate resignation

Get on social media, call your reps.

[bullwinkle428]

41. Reporters better ask him about this, before he even begins his written "speech" today.

[samsingh]

47. he's willing to have more Americans die to create chaos to improve

his already impossible chances of being reelected.

[kairos12]

51. He always believed in Chaos. He thinks if no one is in charge, he

can be in charge. The Dear Leader riding in on a white horse.

[7wo7rees]

52. Trump thrives on chaos..... "You're Fired"....... n/t
