Y'all give this dumb, cowardly motherfucker too much credit.
At least in Tiananmen Square, the guy in the street didn't get run over.
EDIT: yes I'm aware of the actual massacre, and wasn't trying to make light of it.I meant that the country's military/police/etc are already far gone enough that you wouldn't see anybody stopping for protesters like in the famous picture

If they crackdown hard and suppress/scare dem voters in november it will benefit him
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP! I will deck the next person that tries to argue that "history won't repeat itself"
the US military has almost always served terrible purposes but post-9/11 military is psychopath shit and people are underestimating that
All he ever does is consider things because he has no idea what he's doing. He gets these ideas he thinks are great, then learns he doesn't actually have the power to do it, or that it won't work exactly like he hoped. He's one of the stupidest people I've ever seen.
this is escalating quickly right now. if trump deploys the military on us soil on us citizens it will be clear who will follow trump to the end and who will not.
Yes and no, sometimes he does manage to get his crazy shit through because he's surrounded by crazy/racist enough people willing to implement them.
Yes but the question is how much military supports trump. If the military majority is with him it will lead to a ugly crackdown or civil war
I'm aware, I was just making a sarcastic comment referencing how the US police are already running people over. It was dumb

9-11 pulled back the curtain and exposed the true feelings of a lot of americans, not just the military.
Test run for a military coup when Trump loses?
These are minorities, so I think the US military will be fine with it.

Say bye bye to elections if this happens.
You'll hear all about not being safe to vote, vote fraud, unfair media, unfair governors etc. Conclusion will be : "In light of these events, the US Federal Government is postponing elections untill the situation is normalized".
This is how democracy ends.

militaries have the tendency to be pro-authoritarian. i dont think the us military is any different.
at this point, why wait for the election?
all fake media will immediately be arrested for soreading false rumors and inciting civil outrage. the only media allowed will be fox. the constitution will be temporarily put out of order and the supreme court will allow it with the newly appointed judges.
They were already flying out predator drones in MN so why stop there.
Federal government doesn't schedule or have oversight over elections. Smh
They will make sure to get people without any ties to the areas they are sent. They will just happen to all be from rural areas and white, the most likely to have no misgivings about gunning down some city folk.
Seems a lot easier and cost effective to arrest a handful cops. They haven't seemed to have a problem arresting people for bullshit over the weekend why can't they do that to lying murderers?
armed conflict in the streets to own cancel culture and political correctness
Yep. States run the elections and if an election does not occur, Pelosi is then president or whomever speaker of the house would be at the time.

So, I know other users have previously uploaded this video, but I couldn't find a version that features as much of the available raw footage as possible in o...

There was never any proof that he was executed although there were a million stories that claimed it. In the video, I believe after a minute a couple friends of his just grabs his arm and he goes back into the crowd. I would like to think that he just got away with it but it does seem possible that they would never be able to track him down.
Anyone thinking the military and conservative politicians might do a face turn on behalf of black people are nuts.
That's generally how it's done. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how Pol Pot got his machine running like it did.
Well we know Trump himself didn't know about the insurrection act so someone there is feeding him shit and is ok with this.
On the contrary. This is Trump's best shot at winning that 2nd term. Blaming the left for the "riots" (not "protests") is, unfortunately, probably a very savvy pitch by Trump. The good news is that most people have probably already made up their minds about him.
Nevertheless, see this small history lesson from today's entry at ElectoralVote.com (a great site, btw):
yup, that is the standard playbook for any want to be dictator
