    You are 100% correct, that is definitely the plan. Have the RedHats instigate violence, then call in the military to quell the violence with even more ferocious violence, and Hegseth will definitely give the order to fire on American citizens. It will be like Tiananmen Square, but in cities all over America. Once he has declared Martial Law, he can suspend elections until peace is restored, and since he will control the peace.

    The 2026 midterms are shaping up to be a bloodbath, and he can’t afford to lost one or both chambers to the Democrats, where they can have control of investigative committees, with subpoena and arrest powers.

    So he has to time it right, so the courts and SCOTUS wont have time to react before election day. That means next summer/fall. By then, Luigi’s trial will be in play, many more activities will be criminalized, he will have sent Americans to El Salvador, the first stage of the 30,000 bed facility in Gitmo may be open (or soon), he will have imprisoned political opponents, store shelves will be empty, other goods will be tripled in price, we’ll be in a deep recession, there will be food shortages, etc. Anything is possible, but it will all add up to public outrage like we have never seen, and he will take full advantage of it to end our system of government, and become a one more incompetent Dictator.

    Then it’s on.

      I’m pretty sure Trump will start a war before the elections, both to boost his ratings and to justify extraordinary powers because of the emergency that he will have just created.

        He tried very hard to do so with Iran last time around, when he committed a war crime faking a diplomatic meeting in order to assassinate one of their to generals.

          Yes I think that it will be with Iran this time too. I mean, nobody can know with Trump since he’s an avatar of Chaos, but it is a good option. Big and powerful enough that you don’t accidentally win in 48 hours. Not an ally of any western country. Already have propaganda queued up since 1979 or so.
