If Trump wins the election, US cities are at risk of military takeovers and mass deportations - eviltoast

Senior Democrats in US cities are preparing to defend their communities in the event ofĀ Donald Trumpā€™sĀ return to the White House after the former president has repeated threats that he would use presidential powers to seize control of major urban centers.

Trump has proposed deploying the military inside major cities largely run byĀ DemocratsĀ to deal with protesters or to crush criminal gangs. He has threatened to dispatch large numbers of federal immigration agents to carry out mass deportations of undocumented people in so-called ā€œsanctuaryā€ cities.

He also aims to obliterate the progressive criminal justice policies of left-leaning prosecutors.

ā€œIn cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order ā€¦ I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the national guard until safety is restored,ā€ Trump says in the campaign platform for his bid to become the 47th US president,Ā Agenda47.

TrumpĀ provoked uproarĀ earlier this week when he called for US armed forces to be deployed against his political rivals ā€“ ā€œthe enemy withinā€ ā€“ on election day next month. But his plans to use national guard troops and military personnel as a means to attack those he sees as his opponents go much wider than that, spanning entire cities with Democratic leadership.

    thatā€™s what I get from arguing with people who canā€™t back their shit upā€¦

    Says the guy posting Amazon links and duplicates of the same old failed bill from 30 years ago as evidence for their claims that the current Democratic party wants to eliminate the second amendment.

    thatā€™s what I get from arguing with people who canā€™t back their shit upā€¦

    Says the guy who thinks that 39% of a group holds more sway over policy than the remaining 61%

    Says the guy who literally tried to build a no-true-scotsman strawman 2 posts ago, and then just did DARVO shit when they got called on it.

    Thereā€™s only 2 options here. Either youā€™re a conservative trollā€¦Or, you are using conservative troll fallacies to ā€œback upā€ conservative troll propaganda, and you just canā€™t recognize it.

    So whatā€™s it gonna be?

      Rofl yea sure thing, itā€™s sad that any criticism of the left, is met by the same ā€œnuh uhā€ response as the right wing idiots. Also youā€™re the one doing the no-true-scotsman by suggesting all of my links are not democratsā€¦

      Thereā€™s only 2 options here. Either youā€™re a conservative trollā€¦Or, you are using conservative troll fallacies to ā€œback upā€ conservative troll propaganda, and you just canā€™t recognize it.

      Iā€™m not either, but you really should look in the mirror and ask yourself why your rebuttal is literally the same shit the idiots on the red team do.

      So whatā€™s it gonna be?

      Itā€™s gonna be, Iā€™m getting tired of the deflection and you putting fingers in your earsā€¦ youā€™re boring me now.
