Senior Democrats in US cities are preparing to defend their communities in the event of Donald Trump’s return to the White House after the former president has repeated threats that he would use presidential powers to seize control of major urban centers.
Trump has proposed deploying the military inside major cities largely run by Democrats to deal with protesters or to crush criminal gangs. He has threatened to dispatch large numbers of federal immigration agents to carry out mass deportations of undocumented people in so-called “sanctuary” cities.
He also aims to obliterate the progressive criminal justice policies of left-leaning prosecutors.
“In cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order … I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the national guard until safety is restored,” Trump says in the campaign platform for his bid to become the 47th US president, Agenda47.
Trump provoked uproar earlier this week when he called for US armed forces to be deployed against his political rivals – “the enemy within” – on election day next month. But his plans to use national guard troops and military personnel as a means to attack those he sees as his opponents go much wider than that, spanning entire cities with Democratic leadership.
Correct, so maybe we could stop protesting Harris over Israel until AFTER the fucking election?
Just saying, we should probably stop the genocide coming for us before we try to stop the one not in our backyard? I mean it’s going to be harder to get Israel to stop bombing Palestinian children and give humanitarian aide to said children while we’re lined up for Trump’s gas chambers
signed, a transgender woman who don’t want to end up in a mass grave full of other AMAB individuals all of us wearing pink triangles!
Yea sounds great. Just accept genocide of the Palestinians and stop complaining about our paychecks funding war crimes and genocide every month. After all, it’s just genocide, right?
I agree, I don’t mind it happening to people over there as long as it doesn’t happen to me. It’s just genocide.
just coming back here to say you’ve now entered the “find out” stage of the process.
Hope it’s what you wanted!
My states delegates are going to Kamala. I live in a blue state.
Also, Trump has most likely won the popular vote which hasn’t happened for a republican in 20 years.
I don’t think yelling at voters works as well as you seem to think it does.
Living in a blue state is irrelevant when your bullshit online can be viewed by anyone on earth and therefore influence others in swing states. If you don’t see how comments like your original one (“don’t vote for kamala, genocide bad”) helped achieve the election outcome you got, I really can’t help you – I can explain it for you but I can’t understand it for you.
What helped achieve the election outcome is Kamala pivoting to the right and embracing neocons and her 80 corporate CEO’s.
This loss is hers and the DNC.
But the constitution forbids the US military from operating within the borders of the US! Surely that’ll stop him from ever being able to do this! Right? Right???
It also forbids warrantless search and seizure of property and the president from receiving financial gifts from foreign governments. The courts have been filled with people who don’t care.
Congress didn’t care either. There were multiple constitutional violations that Trump committed while he was in office, but Pelosi never went for those. She went for small bullshit stuff that would result in what we got.
Not according to change is made by the DOD last month to 5240.01. It allows US military action on US soil, including lethal force.
And with the changes the DOD just made to 5240.01 on September 27 allowing US military action on US soil including up to lethal force, Trump will be allowed to.
Drop me possibly be the first one to use it, but the groundwork is being laid under Democrats.
