Summary
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claims Republicans fear criticizing Donald Trump due to threats against them and their families.
He says Trump’s social media attacks provoke harassment, forcing lawmakers to consider costly security measures. This fear, he argues, is eroding GOP support for Ukraine and discouraging opposition to Trump’s policies.
Other figures, including Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, have echoed these concerns. Elon Musk has also pressured Republicans by funding primary challenges.
Some GOP lawmakers reportedly faced FBI warnings of credible death threats for opposing Trump-backed nominees.
They would absolutely call the military death squads.
They can literally try
Tiananmen Square had like 1.5m people at one point. Thousands hurt or killed. But that was just army tanks and soldiers.
They didn’t have any of the fancy dispersal shit they do now.
Plus if there were ever a march the size of the March on Washington, they’d close access to DC.
No bridge crossings, no ferries, no subways.
The Civil Rights protestors didnt care about any of this (though they couldn’t care about Tiananmen yet).
They had a commander in chief that supported them. So long as they kept their word, he did
Cool, did Sri Lanka? Did the miners at Blair Mountain? Did Italian People in July of 1943? Did fucking Sonic the Hedgehog in Egg City?
If lack of official support stays your feet they never intended to move in the first place.
I mean, that’s like 3 or 4 missiles from a helicopter or drone. The US military would logistically have no problem taking out that many people.
There’s plenty more bootlicker MAGA loyalists, who all have enough firearms to equip quadruple their numbers and pacify a crowd double that size. You underestimate their rabid stupidity, which is how these dipshits got into power in the first place. Fuck Trump and fuck MAGA, but dont forget Democrats are all toothless finger waggling pearl-clutchers and allowed this to happen.
No, they absolutely still would. The amount of people means less than nothing. That is absolutely on the table with them.
Looks like a target-rich environment for raking belt-fed machine gun fire. Tiananmen Square had a lot of determined, angry people show up too.
Might wanna pack more than some picket signs.
