Nah, that's nonsense. Trump controls umpteen kinds of law enforcement already anyway; he doesn't need to deputize anything.
Your comment is just fearmongering to discourage resistance against his tyranny.
No. Akshually, I keep having comments removed for urging resistance.
It isn't trump who would be deputizing.
When shit hits, though, it won't matter who is deputized.
It'll be us vs them.
But, like you said, they basically control LEO. From FBI to marshalls and on down to the already rogue constitutional sherrifs.
In the meantime, do you think certain judges having the ability to deputize literally anyone for civil matter won't also be weaponized?
Such as in cases of pardons, or the media, or congress, where the magats will likely lay ridiculous charges on anyone and then have the trump appointed maga judges annoint and send forth their crusaders.
Caution is warranted. There is danger in this power. And we know who will use it.
Edit: wanna complain about my assessment?
Do something to stop it. Stop them. Fucking do something. Anything.
The dems won't. The feds won't.
Only those who do will.
Fight back.
Courts and.laws mean.nothing now.
Understand that.
That is reality.
You aren't the voice of reason here. Caution is no longer warranted. If you intend to continue fear mongering, just stop talking. You have a defeatist mentality and we do not need it.
We're very near the point where the only options are to resist, or to passively wait until they come for us (or in hopes that someone else will risk their neck to do the right thing). It's a bleak choice, but that is the choice.
Sadly this is true. I'm not sure what to do. All my options have failed spectacularly and I'm just one person.
It is a warning, an educated expectation to prepare for likely outcomes.
If you aren't prepared for likely futures you aren't preparing.
Seeing the possible uses and outcomes is not defeatist. It is awareness.
Warning: bridge out You may drown, crash, etc
Yep, Defeatist.
Not a warning, not educated. Just foolishness. The other user already told you about deputizing and how you are wrong. You have the same mentality as the current Democrats in office - do not use the avenues available to you in fear they will be used against us.
They are already being used against us.
We are already crashing.
You are advocating for weakness. Like that user said, stop complying with fascism and expecting a better outcome.
Yes, defeatist.
You are reading what you want to hear.
That is not what I said.
At all.
I can read pretty well, thank you. And not just me, others have commented saying the same thing.
Your position is "we shouldn't do this, be cautious because it might be used against us".
It's already going to be used against us. Everything is being used against us.
Admit to yourself that you have a self-defeating position and move on. I'm not wasting anymore time on your stubbornness.
The judges already have the power and legal precedent to do so. The trumplets have already demonstrated zero care about needing either of those things, so I’m really not seeing what you hope to achieve by not using one of the few legal avenues actual consequences could be enacted on the fascists is?
Whatever you let them do, they will. stop complying with fascism.
The fuck you on?
You're arguing a point I didn't even make.
I'm not complying. I'm fucking warning. Know what to expect. Jfc . you really like to be mad at your allies.
Anyway. Good luck.
So your point is that they'll do it too.
But if we don't do it, they'll still do it.
That's exactly their point yet somehow they fail to understand.
That's not anything close to what I said.
A lot of that going around lately, including telling people that the way they plan on resisting is "doing it wrong."
There's huge amounts of tone-policing anytime someone mentions active resistance or even non-compliance. Well, they might see some things that offend their delicate sensibilities, so they should stay home and let serious people deal with matters by any means necessary.
I've actually dealt with the opposite from keyboard warrior freedom fighters who chide me for wanting to do things like create parallel systems of mutual aid so that when the violence inevitably comes we have systems to support and take care of one another.
To quote a recent reply to me:
Not everyone has the capacity to be a fucking freedom fighter. Many of us are already physically disabled but these fucking chumps want me to go buy a gun, figure out how to afford training somehow even though I'm in poverty, and storm the capitol or some stupid shit.
Guess what, chumps, it takes a diversity of tactics and you need support systems like community doctors and community food to keep anything and anyone alive. You can't fucking eat bullets, but I guess I'm stupid for wanting to have a plan.
Precisely, serious people have plans and don't run in guns blazing like Meal Team Six.
