On day 1 of the 2nd term, Trump signed an executive order that asked for a report due 90 days in on additional actions on the southern border. It specifically asked them to write if they thought the Insurrection Act should be invoked.
They aren’t going to recommend invoking it. If you heard people concerned about April 20th, this was the report they were talking about
Keep the pressure up. They’re starting to feel the pushback. Join the nationwide protests tomorrow April 19th
This is surprising as they are total lapdogs, perhaps indeed the pressure worked.
Remember though that trump doesn’t need them to invoke the act, but having them mention he should would help with legitimacy.
Fascists also love meanings behind numbers, for example the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 both happened on February 24.
April 19 is 250th anniversary of beginning of American Revolution (remember when President of heritage foundation talked about “bloodless revolution (if the left allows it to be)”? April 20 also has some meaning in their hearts.
The surest way to get Trump to do something is to tell him don’t do it. Now this is in the cards at any time.
Too bad he didn’t get killed playing with a electrical outlet as a child.
So, persistent looming threat then.
Makes sense.
Should still be ready for the eventuality that he tries to impose martial law, just like what happened in Korea recently
It is not an eventuality, it is a possibility that he tries
Thinking that everything is 100% certain to happen is how we get ourselves too paralyzed to act. We can reduce the odds of many things from happening by showing up and building pressure
Join protests, boycotts, strikes, etc.
EDIT: or maybe I apparently have misunderstood how the word eventuality is supposed to be a synonymy of possibility. My bad on that one
It is not an eventuality, it is a possibility that he tries
That’s literally what “eventuality” means:
eventuality | əˌvɛn(t)ʃəˈwælədi |
noun (plural eventualities)
a possible event or outcome.Oh hmm, maybe I had just heard people misuse it in the past? Had only heard it being used as a synonym for possibility in the context of “every eventuality” but other times meaning something definitive. Looking it up I see that it’s supposed to just always refer to possibility
Found these two, which seem to cloud the issue. These don’t say “possible”, the first even says “eventual”.
the state or fact of being eventual; contingent character
The coming as a consequence; contingency; also, an event which comes as a consequence.
