I think that after Trump invokes the Insurrection Act is the perfect time to have an insurrection.

"giving Trump the perfect excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act"

He won't do it tomorrow.

Too many people in the street.

And he doesn't have control of the military yet; and as yet too few masked goons.

Interesting that we're talking in these terms in the United States of America,

What is needed is a national strike.

"I'm not a king," Trump says ahead of nationwide No Kings protests

President Trump told Fox Business he's "not a king" ahead of nationwide No Kings protests planned for Saturday while insisting the ongoing government shutdown gives him power to unilaterally cut federal programs.

Trump added that Democrats could stay out of the government "forever," so that the president could continue cutting "Democrat" priorities, such as welfare programs.

"They made one mistake, they didn't realize that. That gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted. We're doing that, and we're cutting them permanently."

"I don't like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and a smart person," he said.

The official White House X account was heavily criticized in February for posting a fake photo of the president on a parody cover of Time magazine wearing a crown with the phrase "LONG LIVE THE KING!"

Cutting programs "Permanently" and sending unwanted troops into cities and states sounds a bit King-ish", eh?

Trump likes to think he's a "Man of the People" a "Great Guy" etc.

He's a "Tyrant, Caligula" etc. Actually.

Self Perception is flawed, Usually.

WASHINGTON (AP) " Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff is warning that the Republican presidential nominee meets the definition of a fascist and that while in office, Trump suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler "did some good things."

The comments from John Kelly, the retired Marine general who worked for Trump in the White House from 2017 to 2019, came in interviews with both The New York Times and The Atlantic. They build on a growing series of warnings from former top Trump officials as the election enters its final weeks."

It's not like we weren't warned.

My guess is it's all just a small portion of the city.

Yes, of course it does... but you're an obvious idiot, so there's that.

Ancient Whataboutisms have never been as argument of innocence of the charge; they are merely a lame claim of supposed hypocrisy, the truth of which matter nada to the current matter.

You seem incapable of learning this no matter how many times you are caught making Logical Fallacies of all sorts.
