Question

If Trump uses the military to invade a state, what do the serious gun nuts — the militias and the Three Percenter types — what do they do?

Are they supposed to welcome the feds with open arms? Isn’t what Trump now proposes — to send federal troops to take over state and local affairs — the very “Jade Helm” scenario they’ve all been terrified of for years?

1. All their gun-humping bullshit is about white supremacy, so no, they won't object to

Trump would probably send Jared out without the bulletproof vest.

Who knows what could happen if Ivanka were widowed?

Remember everything bill Clinton and Janet Reno did was jack booted thugs stepping on the neck of real Americans, right?

But now it's republicans literally sending in the military to seize control and they're just peachy with it.

5. They'll think, "it's cool.... he's owning the libs .That's good enough for me'"

Sometime in the past twenty-five years, they began holding what they hate more important to them than what they love; and by this point, their agenda's got absolutely nothing to do with governing nor leadership... just "owning the libs."

6. I think an example might be the militias guarding The Alamo.

The police had their backs to the gun humpers and faced the protesters.
It’s all guesswork, though, ‘cause we are in uncharted territory now.

Many, if not most, of them never served, and they would be absolutely intimidated but the real military.

I'm betting most of those fuckers just want a reason to shoot people and BLOTUS is fomenting their lunacy.
