And walk with that in your pocket or purse?
Yeah amazing idea.

A win for almost every other living creature on earth.
Personally I like to be alive, even if humanity destroys itself.

Yes, absolutely uncompromisingly ruthless.

I don’t think they will, I have also written many posts that reflect that, I use the same numbers to say two thirds either voted for Trump, or were OK with him winning.
If they weren’t OK with it they would have voted.
So I think a very large portion of the population is actually OK with all the shit that is going on, or they don’t care.
I also think the risk of American democracy ending with Trump is very high.
How high IDK, maybe 20-30% or maybe higher. Certainly not below 20% And that’s an insanely high number for a country that has had democracy since 1789, although it was a very limited democracy, and it is still a deeply flawed democracy.
But still many Americans have trusted the checks and balances, but Trump has shown they don’t work.
And the American population hasn’t shown nearly enough will to do anything to prevent it. And now we are at a point that even if they do, they may be playing directly into Trumps hands.

it doesn’t help that Zionist propaganda is literally conflating the two.

Absolutely.

I’m really doubting the existence of independent unbiased sources that measure the actual effect.

I’m not sure the actual effect of what? Antisemitism? Because I think that polled pr4etty regularly.

This one is about Israel:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/06/03/most-people-across-24-surveyed-countries-have-negative-views-of-israel-and-netanyahu/

This is from UK:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/study-finds-that-one-in-five-british-people-now-holds-antisemitic-views/

I bet that UK piece is reasonably representative of EU too. And the study claims that antisemitism has doubled since 2021!!

That could absolutely be the smarter way to do it. But I think it would have to be rigged HARD, and that could be a problem, because that could make it to obvious.
Where a declaration of Martial Law could seem more plausible to the average American. Just create a lie big enough as they say.

you’re conflating their dubious federal powers of immigration enforcement

Not at all, I’m looking at the overall behavior of Trump, and hes disregard for the law. The kidnapping of Maduro was also illegal, both by international and American law. Even if USA doesn’t give a shit about international law, he was required to ask permission from congress.

You can’t let them do the same to the clearly written, fundamental legal structure of the country.

What?? But he is already doing that left and right!!! He already attempted a coup! Completely against the constitution. Something he should be in jail for, and undetectable for any public office for the rest of his life. Why are you arguing so hard against obvious evidence?

He has also used his presidential powers to go after people that were against him! And interfered in investigations where he has clear personal interests.
Trump breaks the law constantly, he is a pattern criminal. Why would you think that with the power to make USA a totalitarian nation he wouldn’t do so?
And who do you imagine will stop him, if he has the control of the entire federal system?

They may have other ways, under martial law they can do whatever the fuck they want, especially when you don’t give a crap about the law, and only twist it to serve your own agenda.
They don’t give a crap about justification, they are so far gone now, they often don’t even give a shit about plausible justification. They just use whatever paragraph suits their purpose.

Of course if try to hold an election when Trump under martial law has said not to. And those are labeled terrorists or enemies of the state, then those officials will be jailed. And jails to keep them are being built as we speak.

Considering the feds have taking the case, and is keeping the evidence away from local authorities, I think not.

That would probably make them more unpopular here.

What makes you think Trump needs a real reason to declare martial law?

He doesn’t. Just something that gives a shred of plausibility.

Under Martial law Trump can prevent that, and even use the military to prevent it!

IT WOULD NOT BE LEGITIMATE BY ANY STANDARD.

And calling the woman that was shot a terrorist is legitimate?

it is very explicitly a power reserved to the states.

Which is completely irrelevant, if they are declared terrorists that are trying to destroy America.

that’s not the same thing as keeping a continuity of legitimate governance in any sense of the phrase.

Of course it wouldn’t be legitimate by traditional standards, but do you really think Trump gives a shit?
How many dictators are legitimate? He will fake legitimacy, he will gaslight and confuse, and when the dust settles it’s to late.
I’m saying he can do it because he has the control necessary to do it, not because the power of having that control makes it legitimate. Whatever gave you that crazy idea???

The problem is that federal agencies can override local authorities. And to decide it was done illegally, takes years to decide, but when the dictator has total power it’s too late anyway, and the court that will decide the issue will be rigged to favor those in power.

In this concrete case FBI overrides local authorities by making it a case about terrorism! A completely made up claim that makes no sense.
What do you think the local authorities can do to prevent that? In cases of dispute Federal jurisdiction trumps local by default in all situations I know of.

You’re just describing things that anyone could do with a handful of cronies

No, nobody has cleared out the agencies to instate their own people like Trump has done.
And it has taken decades for the Republicans to get a solid majority of the supreme court. And they are doing Trump’s bidding.
Nobody has been hiring fanatics for their own police (ICE) like Trump has done.
And nobody has taken control with the national guard as Trump has done.
And finally nobody has stacked the White House Administration with people who despise democracy like Trump has done.

You are being naive bordering on the criminal. Trump is clearly putting the pieces in play, and taking control of them.

I can only say that from what I hear on the news, and what I see here on Lemmy, and what I hear from people I know and meet. The picture is the same, Israel is pretty universally hated for their war crimes in Gaza, and to some degree that carries over to non Israeli Jews. I think most people at least here in Europe are beginning to understand that the terrorist attack on Israel, that made this blow up ,was an act of desperation.

Now Americans need to rebel, so Trump can declare martial law.
It’s all going according to his evil plan.
I wouldn’t bet on the midterm elections actually taking place.
I hope good Americans find a way out of this, but the path is getting muddy.

Of course, that’s what that was about. 😮‍💨
Twisting the law beyond recognition.
I’ve been warning Americas that they risk being charged as terrorist only to make a judicial murder on them.
And my guess is they most definitely will do that in this case, that she is already dead is irrelevant.
Even if she had been alive, she wouldn’t stand a chance to defend herself.

I obviously and very specifically was talking about Jews of Israel about those leaving, and not Israelis in general.
The latter part about Arabs hating Jews, that is Jews in general.
I would think the context made that reasonably clear. My comment has nothing to do with any other demographic of Israel.

74% of the Israeli population are Jews.
