Former President Donald Trump had three weeks to mount an insurrection, logistically-speaking. Between December 14, when Electoral College confirmed Biden’s victory, and January 6 when Congress was to meet to confirm the States own Electoral College. Exactly 22 days. Now that Trump, and the GOP senators acquitting him, have all the time in the world, which means the next insurrection will target the White House directly. Consider corrected all the mistakes Trump made and his followers committed during the first insurrection to fully grasp how serious the impact on our democracy will be during the next violent insurrection.
And if you think Trump is not planning it, in cohort with some of the GOP Senators ready to acquit him today, then you are not paying attention.
Listen to what Malcolm Nance, a counterintelligence expert, told Joy Reid on MSNBC.
The next insurrection, I can assure you Trump is planning with some of the GOP Senators, is going to be far different and the militias far more prepared and ready to use lethal force to complete their mission successfully.
BETTER PREPARED THAN EVER
Those who will carry out the next insurrection will be far better prepared and far more lethal. While on January 6 most of the militia left their weapons at home, it would be foolish of us to think they will not come back, on orders from Trump and the GOP Senators who acquitted him, fully armed and fully ready to engage U.S. Government forces.
Besides their weapons, and unlike the first time, they would be all wearing outfits to mask their identities. Good luck to the FBI trying to recognize who they are.
Unlike the first time, the militia is going to attack on several fronts and in several key states to incite the maximum impact for more armed groups to follow. In other words, their targets would permit them to recruit more people to violently unseat a legitimate government. What targets would they go after? Think TV stations to broadcast their message. Think military barracks around Washington DC to neutralize a mounting defense. Also, think the White House directly as it is difficult to defend if thousands storm it.
The next insurrection, I can assure you Trump is planning with some of the GOP Senators, is going to be far different and the militias far more prepared and ready to use lethal force to complete their mission successfully.
The Pentagon better plan today for this possibility. Otherwise, Trump is going to catch President Joe Biden asleep at the helm. Does this President realize Trump’s danger? I hope he does.
… my intuition tells me Trump’s red shirts may soon appear on the scene, and just as Goring, Goebbels, Hess, and Himmler helped Hitler rise to power, so are Senators Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Lee shall help Trump destroy our country.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Some may believe sounding such alarms is not conducive to much of the healing our nation needs. However, if you read about what sociopaths are capable of, you would be an alarmist too. We cannot drop our guards ever as long as Donald Trump is breathing. This man is capable of killing millions of people to satisfy his own ambitions, something that people like myself understand given the political environments that groomed us.
Just as Adolph Hitler tried and failed during his first insurrection.
On November 8, 1923, Hitler’s coup d’état against the Weimar Republic failed miserably. He had to go into hiding but within two days, he was captured, charged with treason, and jailed. What did he do during the nine months in jail was to plan for his next insurrection, which he prepared for using his Brown Shirts storm troopers to intimidate the German Government. Trump, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, all coming together. Are you with me? The Neo-Nazis are in our midst already.
Eventually, that same German Government collapsed on January 30, 1933 permitting Hitler to become Chancellor and within six years, he began to destroy the world.
As I write this, my intuition tells me Trump’s red shirts may soon appear on the scene, and just as Goring, Goebbels, Hess, and Himmler helped Hitler rise to power, so are Senators Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Lee shall help Trump destroy our country.
