Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”
I’ve never really understood why it’s necessary to take into account how these people may react. The law is the law, if it’s enforced in blue states and red ones decide to forego their responsibilities, fine.
Fuck 'em.
They’re going to whine about something anyway and they don’t much care if what they’re whining about has any basis in reality.
Well for one, it would be great if we could unify the country again without a civil war.
Sure, I’m all for that. I’m not in favor of indulging the fantasies of a bunch of angry seditious morons though.
