    Ha. Bastard will invoke the Insurrection act for a related cause in 1992, human rights for minority populations.

    But the only thing getting damaged this time is the fascist ego.

    There are no buissnes being looted. The only assaults are federal enforcement, and the only arson so far has been MAGA on a judge’s home.

    His invasion of Chicago isn’t going as they hoped. The government shut down without the ability to confidently restart it. Trump’s body is probably more grafted sacrificial children and cybernetic implants keeping him barely alive. There’s a looming economic crash. Inflation is beyond his control and it’s all on purpose and the people know it.

      Yep. If he was competent, he would have declared the insurrection act in January, maybe early February after building up a casus belli

      He could have ridden that momentum all the way through, by the time people got upset they’d be afraid

      Now? It’s too late. No one is buying it, no one has an appetite for it. He doesn’t have the momentum to blow past the courts, no one in his administration has the conviction to put their balls on the table, and so we have this weak, performative version of a takeover that appeals to no one
