If one kid getting beat up in DC warrants martial law, surely there's a small town in Utah that's next.

If they sent the entier national guard to cities larger than 100,000 people, there would be ~1,200 troops per city. The conventional wisdom I have heard places the number of occupying troops to population required to suppress an insurgency at something like 20-25 troops per 1000 people. We're at about half that number in the smallest cities larger than 100,000 in this hypothetical scenario. By those numbers, it would take the ~~entier~~ half national guard to secure NYC.
For comparison, Britain sent ~3,000 soldiers to Boston in 1768, which, at the time, had a population of about 16,000, and that basically only succeeded in turning the whole city into a preasure cooker.
This threat is a paper tiger even if we ignore the impossibility of the logistics.
"Thank you for your service." /s
Good, spread them thin.
I'd love to send Vance to an El Salvadorean prison, but we don't always get what we want.
I think regular old US prison should be fine.
Actually, no, I don't want my tax money going to his room and board for nothing. Give him a life of community service, serving in soup kitchens or raking the forests or whatever.
Nothing less than death for traitorous cunts like the gop & maga
But there's access to couches on the outside.
Do it. There aren't enough troops to control the entire population at the same time. Once people realize that they have the numbers and the capability, they will acquire the will.
"Okay, so, you've heard of fighting a war on two fronts? Well you're not gonna believe this idea...”
You can tell by the strong resistance now?
Cut that dude's leg off and he'll be able to run faster without carrying all that extra weight.
Of course he would - he jerks off to fantasies of mass murder.
Party of small government, ladies and gentlemen.
My least fucking favorite game to play... "Imagine a Democrat said this."
I get that some actual fascists revel in the hypocrisy, but the vast majority of MAGAs would deny that there is any hypocrisy at all and truly believe it.
The right would be screeching about fema death camps
Remember health insurance "death panels" over Obama care?
Remember when right wingers were losing their goddamn minds over Jade Helm?
MAGAts doing Nazi things as usual.
"Trump Troops" this is good. We should use it.
Troomps
This elicits an.. appropriate.. image in my mind.
Everyone loves to watch Red Dawn
Nobody seems too excited to live in it.
What's a Trump Troop? Is it different from an American branch of anything? It's not his army, or navy, or air force, or national guard, or FBI, or CIA. They are America's. Have you all forgotten so quickly? This is atrocious. So this is how democracy dies, complacency.
Its like the SS but with Tees.
It's just your regular reserve soldier, but with obesity and bonespurs.
Trump isn't American, he's a filthy trash magat piece of subhuman fascist garbage.
You are too generous.
Have to hold myself back from saying the full truth, in order not to get a visit from the magat gestapo.
That is why the big push for "age verification". They want to know who the dissenters are.
100%
They will never get my verification. Ever.
That describes an awful lot of Americans, I'm sad to say.
Vance and Thiel make me look forward to the night of the long knives.
Are you so sure they'd be on the receiving end instead of the other way around?
Yeah. Thiel is openly gay and wants to be king of the Christian white nationalists. And he picked Vance not understanding that Vance's wife and kids were a problem.
And yet last summer Maga was walking around proudly carrying cups of "Vance cum" so maybe you have just too much respect for their awareness and integrity?
Whatever distracts him from the gay thoughts
He can start with small cities in Ohio. Like, Circleville, Middletown, Centerville, and Youngstown small. Make his constituents understand what he's subjecting us big city people to
But also, occupying every city in America is financially and tactically amazingly stupid. That's overstretching your troops
Lot of Hitler's in Circleville, so they probably won't do that
That's an interesting difference between those hitlers and hitler's closest family, who changed their name and decided not to breed.
I'd love to send my own troops to his house.
How surprising
This is the guy in charge when Trump dies. And Trump looks like that may be soon.
Let's hope Americans get organized and motivated before then.
And raise the crime rate by doing so? Stop causing harm, hate and crimes you MAGA fools.
