Thankfully, MJ gets the headline right here. Way too many milquetoast outfits calling this a "crackdown" implies there is even a shred of legitimacy to what Taco is doing here.

Those were the people stockpiling weapons as a threatening signal to the "undesirables" to stay in their place.

Also, some of those stockpiling weapons and talking about "freedom" get rock-hard over the idea of being deputized by a fascist government so they could do their worst on the "undesirables".

They don't give a fuuuuck about liberty, freedom or any of the litany of other bullshit they and other conservatives have been going on about for decades. None of that is real.

Besides from pointing out that the guns-are-my-identity people are all ultra-conservative, consider that any violent resistance being planned would not be broadcast.

OPSEC is a thing y'all need to remember that.

Mmmmm. I believe they will. We don't have nearly enough learned helplessness to bend over and take it.

DC isn't any of the cities he's threatening. And if you look at DC, they aren't being quiet about this either.

Yo... A lot of those gun toting assholes want this

THAT'S what you're worried about!?

Yes, but it’s all in $Trump

These are basically drills for when the breakdown in society really starts

Until they don't...

Get ready to be shocked

"Americans" refers to 300 million human individuals.

You mean hamberders, yes?

This is not a threat this will happen we all need to be prepared and ready to defend ourselves and what we believe in.

Bring it. Spread those resources thin.

Russia is finally invading the United States via Trump. And the US doesn’t even realize it.

Apparently, NG units tend to be deployed for about 29 days then removed. Day 30 is when they get a pay increase. I can't imagine that instilling much loyalty towards the regime in these soldiers, when the football keeps being pulled away.

Personal examples: I can name several such people, some of whom are in the United States National Guard, one of whom specifically was interviewed by Newsweek for being one of the jackboots who cleared Lafayette Square so Asset Krasnov could hold a Bible upside down. I grew up with the asshole. He was on record blubbering about how hard it was on the Guard to be being fascist (not his exact words, but the gist of it). He's also all over Facebook spouting some of the most hateful rhetoric you'll see outside Stormfront.

I used to try to get thoughts across to him, to see his point of view and help him see mine. Then I realized it is utterly futile to try with him and people like him, as they only use words as a means of deception rather than communication.

Crackdown is the wrong term because it implies there's something that needs to be addressed.

I'm not sure if "invasion" is right either. Closer, but it's troops on their home territory, so invasion seems inaccurate too.

Maybe occupation?
