With increasing military presence in LA which currently has no protestors, could this be a possible outcome?

I can’t help but put two and two together, here.

Maybe I am being overly paranoid, but could they be doing this in anticipation of


Perhaps arresting or otherwise removing duly elected Democratic politicians and installing Trump rulers over California?

They did say they were going to stay and “liberate California from liberal politicians” after all.

If they plan to do something so drastic and unpopular, they would want lots of soldiers whom they feel would be willing to use lethal force against citizens.

Perhaps the plan is to go from blue state to blue state, installing Trump dictators against the will of the people.

Rachel Maddow said, jailing/removal of the opposition party is next in the authoritarian handbook.

1. Looks that way

And the judges of the 9th Circuit are assisting in that endeavor!!!

2. Yes. That is very concerning.

3. I have to wonder, what will life look like for all of us, if they win? I know it will be bad,

But exactly HOW bad, and in what ways?

4. People who know about this stuff say, there are no safe havens in authoritarian regimes.

5. They have to realize what the reaction

will be to such an anti-democratic act. Are they that deluded that they think people will just let that happen?

6. I think perhaps that is exactly why they are filling LA with thousands of soldiers.

7. The problem with taking control by force is that the costs keep escalating

It would require an increasing number of enforcers, spread out over multiple locations.

After awhile, they will run out of enforcers - military folks with a conscience will refuse to comply and recruiting new enforcers will get harder as the resistance grows. I think there is a finite number of people willing to enforce unjust laws/coups in the US.

10. This is a very reassuring post, thank you!

8. This is quite possible.

ICE Barbie came right out and said this is what they are doing.

9. Exactly why I am so worried.....
