That’s exactly what his supporters want, though. An excuse to start shooting The Blahs, Jews, foreigners, LGBTQ, uppity women, and people they know to be liberal, federal workers, Hollywood/news celebrities and politicians that they hate, etc…
I think his supporters are going to learn the difference between “peaceful” and “harmless” really quickly.
Maybe, but at a certain point, people get tired of being pushed around.
Will Americans get tired of being pushed around? They seem to prefer helping the fascists by pushing each other around instead, judging by the repeated attempts on Lemmy to place everything Trump does squarely under the responsibility of the non-voters.
From my outside perspective, they like acting as the victim too much to actually fight back.
That’s would appear to be the plan, yes. Push people to riot, declare marshal law, turn it into a full blown civil war and rely on the assumption that right wingnuts are more likely to be armed than those who oppose fascism. I fervently hope it does not come to that, and some way is found to stop it in time, but the future currently looks rather bleak in that respect.
