Political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship

Trump’s promotion of violence and totalitarianism is nothing new.

Donald Trump is an interesting character. While many are scared that violence and totalitarianism are in the air. That eventuality is not new.

The president of violence and totalitarianism

Watch the full episode here.

Donald Trump was on a call with the governors. The violence and totalitarianism he represents were in full vogue.

The Washington Post reported the call as follows.

President Trump on Monday berated the nation’s governors during a conference call, describing them as “weak” in the face of growing racial unrest and urging them to take an aggressive stand against unruly protests.

Trump told governors that if they don’t take back the streets and use force to confront protesters they would look like “fools,” alarming several governors on the call as they communicated privately.

“You have to dominate. If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time,” he said. “They’re going to run over you. You’re going to look like a bunch of jerks.” …

“We are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country,” Trump said as the sounds of flash bangs echoed in the Rose Garden. “We will end it now.”

The announcement, as well as the conversation with governors, followed nights of unrest and mass protests in cities across the country over the death of another black man in police custody, George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. Many of the protests have featured violent clashes with police, as well as the destruction of private property and looting. …

Trump told the governors that “you have to use the military” and “we have a wonderful military.” He also mused about the Occupy Wall Street movement, calling it a “disgrace” that was ended by governors and mayors being tough.

The president said that people arrested at the protests should serve 10-year prison sentences.

“But you’ve got to arrest people, you have to try people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years, then you’ll never see this stuff again,” he said. “And you have to let them know that.” …

If the slow creep is not arrested soon reversing will be that more difficult. The man is setting the stage for martial law declaration. Donald Trump is a totalitarian.

    I spent quite a few years as part of the US Army National Guard. We had annual training on riot and crowd control, as well as US Army mandated training on lawful and unlawful orders. We also discussed, as soldiers are wont to do, about nightmare combinations of unlawful orders and our duties as our state militias.
    The general consensus was, if a US president abused his authority and office sufficiently, such as in ordering the invasion of a US state that still has the courts in session, we’d offer the Senate first dibs on him and when they’d refuse to impeach him without House articles, he’d be found hanging from the burned out White House flagpole.
    The suggestion added that he’d hang by his heels, ala Mussolini was quite well received.

    Gone is the Kent state shooting era, the University of New Mexico National Guard bayonetting of students era, My Lai village massacre era. The National Guard are our states attack dogs, but we can and will bite in every appropriate direction when ill used.

    I retired from the US Army Reserves in the final days of 2009, this week is the first time I’ve ever seriously considered a military return from retirement.
