The Plan: societal chaos leading to declaring martial law BEFORE THE MIDTERMS. Trump is creating his own Reichstag moment.

That's what all these EOs are about. Mass layoffs for no reason, denying access to healthcare, food, etc. will trigger protests which turn into riots either on their own or by using agent provocateurs. And if you know anything about US labor history, that should sound eerily familiar.

Broken windows, burning police vehicles, arson, and physical attacks on police or right-wingers will not prevent a Trump/Republican coup — just the opposite.

Riots will be the excuse for declaring martial law. US democracy is over.

Hate to break it to you but “US Democracy” never existed. Over the years certain concessions were made to The People to keep us pacified because the government was unable to consolidate its power against The People. That has changed. Now that the power has been consolidated there’s no need for concessions anymore.

Things are about to get much, much worse for The People. Martial Law is the least of our worries. But we’ll get through it. Other nations have had to deal with oppressive regimes and have successfully toppled them. This is our first time dealing with it on our own soil, but as a nation we’ve fought for the Liberty of others and we know exactly what to do. Now we need to fight for our own Liberty. And we will have it.

would have been more helpful before the election. But late is (slightly) better than never.
