Military officials are sketching out a plan that could deploy a few thousand National Guard members, officials said. The use of active-duty forces has also been discussed.
Its pretty clear that the plan is to wreck Democratic-leaning cities one by one.

They need to be so severely booed when they arrive. There is no respect or honor in their service being used this way. They should be ashamed.
Living in Chicago I expect nothing less than that.
My guess is they’ll station everyone in the loop for optics but not actually put military in the actually dangerous streets.
Ain’t nobody going to North Lawndale or Garfield Park.
This is a completely unrelated thing but please tell me Garfield Park has lots of Garfield the cat graffiti.
Each time he’s done this they wasted a shitload of money, his numbers dropped and he ends up looking like an idiot. Even more importantly, it brings them no closer to expanding their control over the populace. They might actually be too stupid to be effective authoritarians.
Funny if you think “his numbers” actually mater at this point in time.
Really unpopular presidents lose elections. Really unpopular kings lose their heads. It matters, even if he’s messing with the election.
I’m more making a comment on you’re not going to have a proper/legit election.
The numbers always matter. Dictators just get by with smaller numbers.
Are all these “elections don’t matter” people a psy-op? Either take up arms because democracy has failed or fuck off with this Trump-aiding “voting doesn’t matter” fatalism.
Yeah approval doesn’t matter until approval really fucking matters. I’m not saying this is going to cost him power, but I am saying that Franco’s white terrors weren’t because he just hated his opposition so much. They were about stopping it’s spread and its ability to gain influence.
Nah, I just think you’re never going to have a proper election again. We’ll see I guess.
Each time he improves the process, scopes out his opposition and finds out what he needs congress to pass to make it easier. These first few times wont work, they aren’t meant to, they are meant to set everything up so he can control the populace with military force without any legal opposition
I’m with Meidas’ remark on this - suuuuuuch a bullshit headline. It gives credence to Taco Camacho and his fascist bullshit.
Crackdown? On fucking WHAT?
On people having darker skin than Trump’s, or voting to not have a crackdown.

Can we not call it a crackdown, thereby lending legitimacy to the farce being used to invade a city in the US?
Tell that to Bezos, whose employees wrote the headline for him and buried the mention that this is illegal way down in the article
He stopped answering my calls when I put down the pipe.
Biden’s legacy will forever be a “return to normalcy” instead of putting something in place to prevent this
Yeeeeah no. Come on. The trump admin is actively breaking laws on top of “norms and traditions”. If this had all been meticulously planned against and counters written into law (which let’s be honest, wasn’t going to happen) you think Trump would suddenly care about following laws?
Nazi invasion
