    Really getting suspicious that they’re actively trying to get people to riot at some point simply as an excuse to invoke the insurrection act (and then deputize the proud boys et al)

      There are already plenty of parallels between how Putin seized power and Trump. If he’s following the playbook, a false flag should be coming down the pipe any day.

        Been there, tried that in 2016, it’s a lot harder than you think, especially if you’re older even if you’re in tech.

        And then what? Whatever goes down in the US will spread to the rest of the world. You won’t be able to hide from it

        Nazis are popping up all across the world.

      Nah, if they really wanted that we’d already be in a recession. Maybe if the tariffs actually start impacting the economy to the point where there’s an actual market collapse, then we might see some people hitting the streets.

      In reality, the capital holders won’t allow the media to rile up Americans too much until the billionaires start getting hit in the wallets. Until then we still have our bread and circuses.

      nothing is really stopping them from doing it anyways, its much easier to do it in red states, but magas dont riot in large numbers like Ds do.

      Pretty sure they could invoke the insurrection act whenever they want. Why not? Just lie and say there are riots, who’s gonna stop them?
