They don’t care about total enforcement. They’ll just use it against their enemies and people they want to take down while protecting their own. Rules for thee etc

They don’t need the military. The police have already been militarized and have zero issue using violence against the populace as has been demonstrated time and time again.

Also respectfully, as a vet, the military is not homogenous and Trump will absolutely find the people in the military that will listen to him and put them in charge

I desperately need to get out of this state

We can’t ignore it when they’re constantly passing more and more draconian laws that make our lives infinitely harder all across the United States.

We have innocent men being lawfully executed by the state in the current year. How many people in total were involved in those processes without a single one standing up for justice? Our current “liberal” presidential administration hasn’t uttered a single word in opposition to their murders

You don’t think Trump will find people to do the job for him? Do you remember them black bagging and abducting people off the street in Portland during BLM? While the NG’s performance was commendable during that turbulent time, I wouldn’t rely on that fact staying true. Also I’m a vet and at least when I was in when we were given orders we weren’t told why we were doing them or given any context for them so in the heat of the moment that’s all you’re going to have to go off of.

Unfortunately people as a whole tend to follow orders regardless of their political party or legality. It’s been studied and observed all throughout history

The supreme court decided police are under no obligation to serve or protect

This country is pure evil and rotten to its core. There is no redemption for us. No one will come to save us. It is only going to get worse.

And that’s not even getting into how flooded the sector is with the hundreds of thousands being laid off for the past few years

Building a registry of trans people is pretty frightening as well

My apologies, I edited it. Let me know if I need to edit it further

We’re on the same side here. I am a trans person. If a republican gains the presidency the consequences will literally be devastating to my life and liberty. Every single day republicans are crafting and putting forward policy to make my life harder. I am not a politician, I do not craft policy, but it seems like asking for a plan from people whose jobs are to craft policy to stop the plan that is currently underway to erase my existence and gain permanent capture of the US doesn’t seem like that much of an ask does it? If no such plan is crafted, then the second a republican wins the white house it’s over, there’s no going back and we can kiss our freedom goodbye. Please I am begging for just a shred of empathy here

Putting up safeguards is literally an action. We have them all over the place. You could put in laws or executive orders that prevent the actions of p25 from being put into place. Maybe even consider expanding the supreme court if that would help. If it’s literally a threat to our democracy then it should be treated as such. The federal government stops nefarious schemes all the time, why is this any different?

What do you mean VOTE? THE CURRENT PRESIDENT IS A DEMOCRAT. P25 has been out for ages and what have they done about it?? They could even give us their plan to stop it! But as it stands, yes we might win this election or even the next one, but if they don’t do anything about the threat that p25 poses all it takes is one slip up and WHAM we immediately live in a dictatorship. The democrats aren’t treating p25 as the very real threat that it is or else they’d be doing something about it other than using it as a guilt trip to make us vote.

I would be able to let out a sigh of relief and a deep anxiety would be lifted if they could give us a plan to stop it, but as it stands all they have is keeping the dems in power which let me tell you we’ve already lost multiple massive multi decades long precedent while under the biden administration and not a word on how we’re going to get it back. Somehow the republicans win whether they’re in power or not but not for the democrats oh no we get nothing

I don’t know if you know this but p25 is already well under way with massive changes being made by the captured judicial branches as well as heritage foundation approved bipartisan bills being passed.

The administration has the entire plan in their hands. They could at least act in some way to put up safeguards so that our democracy isn’t instantly dismantled the second a republican president is sworn in. Otherwise it’s only a matter of time before it happens regardless.

Edit: All y’all demanding me come up with a solution. I am the one asking for anyone in charge to come to with a counter plan. The republicans have a plan to dismantle the government as soon as they enter power and are currently enacting pieces of their plan under a democrat administration. They will continue doing so regardless unless they are stopped.

WE CANNOT COUNT ON WINNING EVERY ELECTION IN PERPETUITY

As soon as the republicans win it’s over. If there is nothing that can be done to stop them THEN WE’VE ALREADY LOST

Edit2: The biden admin might not have congress, but they could at the very least create proposals or laws that could stem the tide and hold on to them until they know they would pass, but as far as I’m aware they haven’t done or talked about anything like that

Y’ALL ARE LETTING IT HAPPEN WHILE IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING

They dropped their support for the abolition of the death penalty from their platform

Don’t worry, there are plenty of suburban apartments to get the worst of both worlds these days

Yeah obviously those kids should be picking themselves up by their boot straps. Sorry kids there’s no such thing as a free lunch /s

This shit was written 20 years ago and is still fucking relevant to this day fucking hell
