Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”
If he legitimately wins, the country is not worth saving, in my leftist opinion. I hope my beloved country isn’t lost enough to let that happen. I’m going to focus on making sure he loses. Then we’ll just have to deal with his next coup attempt.
do you think it is proper for the left to attempt a coup of their own if he wins?
No. I do not. I think finding a new country to call home is then appropriate.
