The former president made multiple chilling warnings during an interview with Time magazine.
Donald Trump hasn’t quite let go of the possibility of utilizing mob violence if he loses the next election.
In a sprawling interview for Time magazine, Trump hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his end goals was still on the table.
“If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.”
And from Trump’s perspective, that’s winning rhetoric. According to him, his incendiary comments supporting a mob mentality, his early warnings of forthcoming abuses of power, and his threats to be a dictator on “day one” are only inching him closer to the White House. “I think a lot of people like it,” Trump told Time.
The fascists have helicopters and jets… Hope you got some big bullets
In a hypothetical civil war peoole wouldn’t shoot the helicopters and jets. They’d blend with the regular population in to hide from them. They’d shoot the pilot when the pilot is out buying groceries or filling their car with gas … or kidnap their loved ones.
A civil war would be horrifying. There would be no uniforms, no front lines, and no rules of war. Both sides would go after the other’s friends and family when they can’t find or attack their enemy directly.
Pretty much this. We already had a second Civil War, sorta, in the Coal Wars, and it pretty much shows how BAD it can get. Now imagine how much worse a guerilla war would be in the age where anyone can find information on pretty much anyone else with the use of a few very basic tools. They don’t need to know your schedule, just where you work. They don’t need to know who your kids are, just where they go to school. They don’t need to know how many people are in your house, just where it is - all publicly available information (or at least easily extrapolated from it).
