re: #54 watching you tiny alien kittens are
It is a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy in that the only way that happens is if he gets the gun-toting extremist wingnut crowd so riled up that they attempt their “take back the country” nonsense. Then yes, you end up with martial law and armed forces in the streets, at least temporarily, but not because the government started it.
But, as I pointed out earlier in #31, the government’s very response to their threats and acts of violence will be then held up as proof that the government is out to get us all - at least all us god-fearing citizens.
