Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

What Trump is "manufacturing", is a civil war. He has already taken steps to fortify his position in DC, and is now planning to invade several cities / States that he deems a potential threat to his rule.
If any of his actions are met with resistance, he will simply invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law across the entire country, fully activating the US military in the process. At the end of the day, they can either go along with it willingly, or he will take what he wants by force. Checkmate, Libruls.
And once he declared Martial Law, he will suspend elections. Remember how excitedly he leaped on Zelensky's mention of suspending elections in his country?
The MAGA Nazis are spending a lot of time thinking about this. They don't ever intend on leaving. It will take a LOT of violence to dislodge them.
So basically I can stop reading Philip K Dick and just watch the news?
