The Right understands how to pull the emergency lever to gain more power. They are already doing it with the Alien Enemies Act. They did it with the Patriot Act. We know the Right is well-acquainted with the idea of false flag events. They've been a staple of their conspiracy theories for years. They understand the playbook. They WILL use it.

They know we are planning to march on April 19th. If things break out into violence or mayhem, that's all it would take for Trump to pull the Insurrection Card. Be extremely vigilant if anyone starts throwing bricks or smashing windows. Film everything. Be loud and intentional, cause these videos WILL go viral. "THIS PERSON ISNT WITH US". Stop them if you can.

I understand the rage and inclination to escalate. This is not the time. We must be the sane refuge for regular Americans. The steady, courageous, principled, passionate refuge for regular Americans. Our war is not on Main Street - we ARE Main Street. We must win America to our side.

Our enemy is the False King. Our enemies are the oligarch robber barons. Continue building strength in numbers. Continue pulling people off the sidelines. Continue encouraging people to find their organizing lane.

Show up. Be furious. Be loud. Be focused. Be persistent. Be angry. Be peaceful.

Not sure this strategy works in this political climate.

The primary reason to impose Martial Law will be to suspend the 2026 Mid-Term election, so he can't do it too early, or the courts will have time to deal with it.

So he will wait until late Summer/ early Fall 2026, then have his RedHats instigate trouble, and then call in the guns to quell the violence with more vicious violence. THEN he'll call for Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored. Since he controls the peace, that will never happen.

He's going to do it either way.

There's never an excuse

By discouraging organized violence you only help the wealthy maintain control.

I don't think there's much chance that he doesn't declare an insurrection.

It is absolutely the time.

Is this controlled pantomime opposition?

FBI has had instigators in major protests going back at least 50 years. But these days, they don't even need to have a "real" event, they just make up whatever the fuck they want.
