    Well, no, martial law is obviously his plan. So the question is, how to avoid violent revolution? Can we…just let the house of cards collapse? Just start taking care of each other and ignore (as best we can) the parasite “elite”?

    I can dream I guess …

      Significant amount of Americans support what he is doing so revolution would be unlikely, and people opposed are apathetic or scared. History seems to point more towards American mimicking what happened with Germany after Hitler took power and people either being captive in the country should leaving cease to be an option, and regime change being entirely dependent on foreign intervention than an internal one.

      And given that the US has the strongest military things aren’t looking great for change over the past decades if the US fully shifts to an authoritarian government.

      Only viable violent option is to rapidly take out everyone important at once or rapidly and I don’t see that working so honestly something like a general strike(rolling or mass) would be best

        I hope and pray the working class is able to find enough solidarity to do, well, anything.

          The lack of class consciousness is pretty stunning. Everyone thinks they’re going to be the owner one day and they’ll get to step on people’s necks. Not enough people realize that’s probably not going to happen , and not enough people reject the idea of stepping on necks altogether.
