Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”
Man, I was hoping that since we’re obviously gonna end up with a dystopia, that it would be a cyberpunk one, but here we are, gonna be stuck with a regular boring ass dictatorship.
At least people will understand why we are revolting. Convincing the world of your cause is usually the hard part.
There’s unfortunately no turning back from that, either. Could be the last election ever.
It won’t just fuck up the US, either. It would change global politics forever. It might be what finally puts China on top of the world order.
Honestly, at this point, with all the wars in the middle east we’ve sponsored, and with all the aid we’re currently giving to Israel to kill people for us, I can’t say with any moral authority that China is worse than we are, because they’re what we’re turning into.
A hot civil war could destabilize China’s export economy enough to make predictions really hard. Have they divested their investments yet?
