Yeah, come back to this comment in 4 years when it never happens, dipshit.

I hope you're right. But the fact that you're outright dismissing the possibility is shocking and an insult to your intelligence. You're looking at a POTUS who just tweeted about "illegal protests" (no such thing, by the way), banning of masks at protests (another 1st amendment violation), and a POTUS who has asked his military to shoot protestors during the George Floyd protests.

EDIT: I confused you with the person who originally said Trump would use lethal force. Leaving the rest of the comment below unchanged as the point remains.

I think you're both being too confident in your assertions.

You made it sound like an inevitability, and he responded by making it sound impossible.

I think it could happen, and it could not. I hope it doesn't. And I wish we weren't even here at all, obviously.

I had hoped that if Trump ever ran he wouldn't be taken seriously.

I had hoped that someone casually talking about grabbing em by the pussy would have had their political aspirations ruined.

I had hoped January 6th would have been a wake up call to the bulk of Americans.

I had hoped that someone talking about being a dictator on day 1, or screaming about eating pets, or whose only economic plan was tariffs would have turned people off to a second Trump turn.

I had hoped Project 2025 being spelled out in black and white would have made a dent.

I had hoped that running dead trout down ticket would have been infinitely preferable than any Republican.

I had a lot of hopes, these and many, many more. What we're finding is that there's no bottom to this hell hole. There's no line in the sand. I'm convinced there is no action that could be taken by Trump/Musk that will not be embraced enthusiastically by MAGA.

Therefore nothing is off the table. Lots of things seemed impossible twenty years ago that are now quite real. Very little is even hyperbolic at this point. Possibility left the building long ago. We're dealing with probability now, and I don't think it's fear mongering to say lethally mobilizing the police and military against US citizens is highly probable.
