I fear he may use some lame excuse to call for martial law and forbid demonstrations and institute other fascist moves.

He is just waiting for them, across the nation, so he can enact the "Insurrection Act" and ignore the "Posse Comatatus Act" to activate the entire U.S. Military to declare martial law.........
The day that happens, we will indeed have the........ *Corporate Tyranny of America*.....and an all out Military Coup.........

(777 posts)It's a fact, and doesn't waste any time on poli-sci. Every cent extra you're paying at the grocery store is a deliberate act by these thieving, treasonous pieces of shit putting their hand in your pocket and removing your earnings for themselves. They're not doing it for reasons, or for misguided ideas; they just want all of what you have, they want it now, and they'll take it by any means necessary while telling every lie their little minds can come up with.
And that's who the Republican Party is. "They're robbing you."

(13,003 posts)Everyone should read or re-read Steinbeck's award winning book: The Grapes of Wrath, about the day to day struggles of families during the GREAT DEPRESSION...........Masses of people in "Hoovervilles", no personal possessions, no work, no way to feed their families......it is sickening......
Their final Coup de Gras, will be the overnight obliteration of the economy, by simply crashing the Stock Market, destroying all investment and retirement funds in the U.S. .......Reagan did a trial run, and his action caused a 40% drop in the Market.......
