6. This is exactly my thinking from the time they first went into CA.

rump is just looking for a "good excuse" to declare martial law. Actually, he doesn't need an excuse, nor does he need to invoke Martial Law. He'll just issue an Executive Order and demand that National Guard shoot anyone out on the streets after 6pm. (Old men go to bed early, even if they only toss and turn and hit the bathroom a dozen times in the night).

The chaos of OUR military shooting their own citizens is exactly what trump wants to happen. That will completely disenfranchise the military from the civilian population; up til now, the military has had our support because they supported us. Many thousands of us WERE that military in our prime. We don't recognize what is happening now, and that's on purpose. It's easier to shoot someone you're told over and over again is your enemy... especially when that "enemy" is provoked to rage, with accompanying violence. We are in for some really bad times to come if someone doesn't get that devil out of office, and tie Stephen Miller around his neck to drag him with him!
