Setting the stage for Martial law. Slowly put troops out and when the midterms start, arrest those trying to vote.

Edit: Always appreciate proofreaders. Thanks to all that serve!

Who is Marshall? What does he have to do with martial law?

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Marshall Law is ironically responsible for enforcing marital law.

Martial law is its own thing, but due to some confusion Marshall keeps getting calls about it.

[–] misfitx@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Enforcing marital law is also in the cards, sadly.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

marital law.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Marshall is the person you call for at Laser Quest when some griefer won't stop covering their sensors and tailing you.

[–] NecroParagon@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

People are shitty and will hound you for a misspelling but your prediction is chillingly possible. This would be how that begins

You need just enough to scare the rest. He is already scaring Latin communities. When it is time to vote and ICE is near by, how many people will say "it's not worth the headache."

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Just point the death star at uncooperative states

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 56 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Aww I thought red states weren't gonna get hurted? ☹️

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 months ago

They aren’t. They are getting liberated

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

i guess they need to shore up thier immigration numbers, exclusive targeting on blue areas could only work so much.

Stomp my snake balls

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm getting a bit tired of drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany. Like actually exhausted.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I’m tired bro.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 31 points 8 months ago

Help them do what? Feed the detainees? Clean up waste? Because they aren't doing very well with that right now.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I’m curious when somebody is gonna try to shoot them thinking they’re just being kidnapped.

[–] selfdefense420@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

it should be all of us. we should be coordinating to do that very thing. way more effective than protests.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You’re inviting martial law. I respect your passion though.

[–] selfdefense420@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You’re inviting martial law.

you're damn right. we have to be willing to fight them. living in fear of that outcome is defeat. if all they have to do is threaten us, then we're already defeated.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who are you expecting to buy tanks or missiles from?

I’m not risking my life at this point unless my family is in immediate danger. I got too much to lose to be a hero.

[–] selfdefense420@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

you don't need tanks and missiles.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You got some arms and explosive connect? It’s not like the movies.

[–] selfdefense420@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

you seem well informed about military know-how

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So, call me crazy, but I really do think the protest organizers need to push WAY harder on the idea that while ICE is the enemy, the NG (and the military at large too, hopefully) is not. We should make posters saying stuff like “NG: We’re citizens, and you’re citizen soldiers; we should be friends!”

I genuinely do hope and believe that when the chips are really down at some point, if the National Guard or any active-duty unit is ordered to do something absolutely beyond the pale, they’d refuse the order and frag the person who gave it. I think that may be part of how we end up getting out of this shitshow. And yes, I do realize how deeply fucked it is that I’m basically banking on a mutiny by elements of the US Military as our final breakwater against fascism… but our civilian institutions are manifestly failing to meet the moment in any meaningful way.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

the thing is MSM isnt reporting it, and they are trying very hard not to give it more attention than it needs, because its conservative owned media.

[–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't the National Guard the people who shot those kids at Kent State?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The national guard is a meaningfully different organization than it was back during the Vietnam war era. And so is our society. I’d like to think that if Kent State played out today, we’d likely see a very different outcome. And at any rate, we’ll probably all get a chance to see what happen sooner than later in that respect.

All I’m saying is that if you are overtly friendly and inclusive to volunteer national guards[wo]men, it’s gonna be a lot harder for them to look you in the eye and pull the trigger. Up to and including refusing orders or fragging the officer giving the order.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

You guys are literally staging a replay of 1930s Germany...

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Getting troops for "administrative and clerical functions" bullshit.

[–] who@feddit.org 7 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Meanwhile, Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” spending and tax bill would direct $168 billion towards immigration and border enforcement. But that increased spending and other immigration-related costs could cost the U.S. an estimated $1.4 trillion over the next decade.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

does that account for the loss of industry that needs immigrants to ruin certain fields.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

When are we winning?

Love that small government energy
