    You started it when you posted baseless crap like, "And the authoritarian and fascist side of trump supporters reveals itself ..." :roll:

    Defending the United States "from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC" is neither "authoritarian" or "fascist". And when a vicious mob of arsonists, thieves, and marauders surge out into the country, rioting, destroying, and stealing everything they can lay their hands on -- THEN THEY ARE THE ENEMY!

    [​IMG]."We fought and died for a nation that bred THESE creep bastards...?!"

    agreed, they are unlawfully getting reparations.

    they have to vote for biden or obama to lawfully take another American's property.

    During the Battle of Blair Mountain (1921) the Army was deployed to WV including airplanes used to bomb insurgent miners.

    Funny, tiananmen square showed someone stopping a tank armed with nothing more than plastic bags. Those bags are banned here!

    These rioters are not the second amendment crowd.

    If you have not seen the abundant evidence so far then no amount of “proof” will convince you

    It happened during the Rodney King riots in L.A., and some of the service members were "relieved" of their weapons by local gang members.

    Lol...Specifically, trump is losing the principled conservatives, the evangelicals and now the military.
    Only his white supremacist base is willing to follow him down the rabbit hole.

    So who do you think those principled cons, evanges, and military will be voting for? Biden? I hope this is one issue we can unite on. Use of the military against our own citizens is an abuse of power, right?

    Yes, it would be an abuse of power and it seems Esper agrees. Finally someone standing up to Trump.

    Do you think they'll vote for a disgusting dotard like trump if they respect themselves and love their country? I expect the far right cons, the religious hypocrites and the white supremacists in the military will still plump for trump, but everyone else is abandoning him already.
    It's really amazing how many are coming out against him now.

    So Trump's own defence secretary has now come out and said that he wouldn't invoke the 1807 law to deploy federal troops against American citizens. At least someone has some morals. So at least we have an answer to the first part of the OP.

    There has not been a moment when no one was standing up to Trump. The question is who stood up against other abuses of power like Obamacare, gun control, and excessive taxes?

    All politicians and their followers are hypocrites. It doesn't matter if there is a D or an R by their name. Just remember this threat of military force as you and your party push gun control and higher taxes.

    Sadly about 40% of Americans would like nothing more than a permeant police state so they could strut around giving Donald the stiff arm salute.

    What happens if Trump deploys the military on the streets?
    The actual riots would stop. The genuine protests would continue. The precedent for such use would be set, not just in the US. Hard to say much when the PLA calms Hong Cong.
    America's influence around the world, in so many ways, isn't fully understood by Americans.

    Sorry, but your retort sounds incoherent.
    Maybe you should be paying attention to how trump is trying to turn our country into a military dictatorship run by a despot.
    People who know more than you and I are already worried-

    I strongly oppose it. Your party wants a big powerful government. Here you go. Enjoy!
