This corresponds to a recent EO by Biden, BTW.
If you were against, say, someone like Trump oppressing people, why would you give the feds more authority to implement martial law, including killing citizens via the military?
They’re all in one big club and you ain’t in it. Democrats aren’t here to save you, they are here to lace the boot.
If this is so they can cut down the mobs of Trump supporters at the next Capitol riot, I’m here for it. They should have done that last time.
Laws should not be written to abuse people. Re educate yourself friend.
Defending America is not an abuse of power. Asshole.
Yes, zwe must defend ze thousand year reich! /sarcasm
It’s really rich hearing people defend MAGAs and call other people nazis when Trump is literally out there publicly wishing for nazi generals.
The republicans are the nazis, they literally wave swastikas at their events.
While I agree that Republicans are fascists, isn’t that kind of whataboutism? We aren’t talking about Republicans, we are talking about democrat policy that is more likely to be used on BLM or pro-palestine protestors than some Trump supporters.
Ze protestors are destabilizing our glorious empire, ze must be dealt with harshly for ze peace and stability of ze greater reich! /s
They’re just doing the typical Blue MAGA policy of equating all criticism of Democrats as being pro-Republican, as if most people with these critiques aren’t leagues to the left of Democrats.
Hey, whatever mental gymnastics you need to do to feel better about yourself there pal. I’m sure you’re out there making a huge difference in the world.
BlueMAGA not beating the allegations
BlueMAGA is an oxymoron. Those cunts got off lightly last time.
You’re cheering on a government giving the greenlight to kill its own citizens. You are a fascist too.
You’re acting as if there is no thing ever that would warrant that. You’re a moron.
Bet you’re starting to think I should be killed, what with you being a fascist and all that.
I don’t know, do you have any plans to storm government buildings violently?
sounds like it’s time to prepare for civil war 2 election boogaloo.
I can’t believe Trump would do this
part of the plan for project 2025. this SHOULD have you worried.
This is part of a recent Biden executive order. Dems are leading the charge on this.
wonder why, if so?
This is entirely consistent with decades of Democratic policy. Pro-cop, anti-peoples actions.
You know Democrats new “Midwest Dad” Tim Walz? He’s the guy that sent the national guard at the George Floyd protests.
Democrats are not our friends.
sounds like neither candidates are at this point. one is quiet about it, and the other is loud about it. well, nobody likes secrets, right?
There’s no “if so”. This is literally Biden’s administration doing this. You can click the link, ya know? You can see who this was approved by. You can look up the executive order. It’s all freely available information provided directly by the government.
so what’s the reason behind it, if there’s even one mentioned?
No reason mentioned that I can find, but I do know it is a wholly negative change.
The dems are now officially part of project 2025?
DT’s supreme court
what
This decisions was not made by the supreme court, but do go on.
I have no idea what that person is going on about. Big bold letters say the change was approved by Kathleen H. Hicks, the Deputy Secretary of Defense under Biden.
how would that have been approved?
edit - well, wait. are that expecting an uprising of some kind?
huh? are you okay? is something broken?
yes, lol
in authoritarian regime, state security forces are empowered to extrajudicially execute protestors
