I mean, I can't even believe it's no longer crazy conspiracy talk to think so.
We know there is an extreme violent element in America. Trump has been encouraging them and firing them up for more than two years now with his non-stop violent rhetoric. What worries me more is this is the beginning of creating anarchy in America. Will we now see the extreme element and private militias sow chaos so Trump can declare a police state and suspend elections.
This also follows the events in 1930's Berlin.
Are we there or is this just one more giant leap forward?

(5,915 posts)If it was a Reichstag moment Trump supporters and Govt. buildings would have been targeted. Now, if Trump comes out and says it was a Democratic plot to cause fear and sway the election then you would be correct.

That's a convenient way to claim any future violence targeting Dems will be suspect.

(11,949 posts)Explain to me how you declare a police state? Well, not declare, which is just a statement. But make it happen.
That would require, I dont know, a police force to do his bidding. None of those here in Florida.
