This is something that has been developing for many years. It reached a point in 2016 which allowed for the nomination and elect of a person who is the perfect accelerant. I am actually excited that he is pushing it this way before the 2020 election instead of after. America now has the opportunity to say if they want it to continue. But his horde cannot process anything beyond that idea that those they hate... solidified by daily propaganda... deserve it... and these people aren't smart or educated enough to apparently know that 'they came for... eventually turns to me... I'm going to disagree, here.
I think some of them can. the federal response in cases like Waco drove them nuts. I am sure that some of them can connect the dots, if others can't.

and in November, we don't need to have them all for him to not be reelected.

Our say will come at the ballot box in November. Having Federal forces patrolling the streets of US cities will be great visuals for people who need them to understand what fascism will look like during a second Trump term. IF we are lucky enough to have an election in Nov. If he declares marshal law & suspends the elections...who is going to stop him? He doesn't have the power to suspend the elections. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/coronavirus-trump-cancel-postpone-2020-election

(Note: I was a Poli Sci major and just love this shit) In response to numerous posts: "So be it". If enough Americans are fascists, we become a fascist state. If he declares martial law and there is inadequate reaction to stop it from becoming operational, we live under martial law. Then I’m ready for secession of the west coast, west of the Cascade mountain range, to become a real democratic nation state. Maybe modeled on Switzerland or New Zealand or one of the Nordic countries. Renewable resource industries, ports, airplane mfg, hi tech businesses, tourism. A constitutionally mandated living wage, a balanced budget which will require progressive taxation, a healthcare system that covers everyone, a make sense military deterrence that possibly partners with BC and the now non United States. If any region starts a succession campaign, the country will break into a minimum of 5 countries. The midwest will decide to go their way, the south certainly won't group up with the Yankees. The west coast will go its way. Texas may just decide to be it's own country again. New Mexico will be screwed, as will pockets of people in each state. I will have to move. The US breaking up will tank the world economy. I bet someone will step in to stop this before we get that far. Plus, once DT dies, his regime will crumble. Although he is spry - he is in his late 70's. He might not make it through a major conflict.
