I asked a Trump supporter irl what they think, and when I mentioned martial law, they rolled their eyes, began to explain to me that it's not martial law, followed by saying, "There will be national guard and police on every corner."
@wishforthenight I've honestly tried to test them numerous times to give them the benefit of the doubt to be fair. It's the same every single time.
One recently told me to stop trying when she repeats the same narrative in every single conversation that Trump was detaining all the evil immigrants so she could sleep safe at night. And whenever I counter her points to let her know that Trump is removing immigrants statuses in order to arrest them, she said it's what she voted for and to stop trying to counter her information as she didn't care.
But I've heard similar from different maga too. They all say that eventually, no matter the information given, they all say that.
I'll never stop countering misinformation when I find it by them but it gives you an idea that they are willfully going along with it at this point.
@SatanBurger please can you dm me and tell me the names of the worst offenders? I want to block them as I do not want to accidentally have anything to do with them. Thanking you in advance 🙂
One can only hope that before memory is lost of what the old 'normal' was, there will be new politics in which a militarised USA becomes something which is only seen in pictures in museums which are free to tell the truth and the whole truth.
@markinkansas An important point that @FreddieUK may not be aware of is that Congress no longer goes on recess, specifically to prevent the President from exercising his recess appointment power. So these de facto recesses are not de jure recesses.
Back to Fred's question: the Gov of New Mexico recently asked his nat'l guard to look into crime somewhere or other. And the theory is that since he already gave the order, tRump can't give the NM guard different orders. I dunno how that would play out.
Its also a crime for a member of the US military to obey an unconstitutional order; by law they must refuse such orders. In practice, i think anybody who refuses tRump would get fired and replaced without delay.
@FreddieUK I looked it up; the practice of holding "pro forma sessions" to prevent recess appointments began in the early 2010s, so during the Obama presidency.
Somehow it was decided that a ten day recess was needed before the recess appointment power kicked in. So, once a week or so thru any congressional vacations, somebody bangs a gavel a few times and logs it as a pro forma session.
@AthrillatheHunt I believe to have the national guard and police on every corner is overkill for any place in America. Besides it ain’t stopping crime , but pushing it to other places. Kinda just making it safe for the politicians there
