    Leaked memo? This shit was in Project 2025. We’ve known about it for years. One of the last steps is declaring martial law. I keep warning people, but this is 2016 all over again and people are calling me an alarmist, again.

    People need to wake the fuck up to what is actively happening.

    “This is not American”

    How many FUCKING TIMES do we have to tell you mouth-breathing morons that this kind of shit is PRECISELY what the US has always been about? “Who could seen this com”- ALL OF US SAW IT COMING, and we’ve been begging you to pay attention for decades upon decades!

    A stupid country full of stupid people who couldn’t pass an open-book text if there was a gun to their head. Ya’ll suck rocks.

      It’s a bit harsh but yeah… Looking at the US from a distance I’ve been saying it is turning in some sort of weird industrial/corporate dictatorship resembling a third world country for a decade now.

      Only thing I ever got back was, 'murica is the best country in the world".

      And they still are saying that to this day…

        It’s been that way for a very long time. Look at the wealth gap during the recession, look at the lifestyle gap there, and you can see just how much power and influence corporations have. It’s a country built on private business exploiting the working class in whatever new and innovative way is the trend for the season.

        Businesses own the country and they always have. It’s worse now, by a lot, but it’s not different.

      Tough part in the US is it’s 50/50. 50% idiots who have been spoon fed propaganda and fox new lies. 50% educated people who’s votes get suppressed because old as electoral college bs from the 1800s. Oh and gerrymandering. There are good Americans out here, problem is, the whole thing is rigged against us doing anything about it. Protest? National guard gets used against you… they own the house, the senate, the fbi, and the Supreme Court. Litterally the U.S. is cooked.

      I will give it to trump though. They masterplayed the propaganda. It is unreal how fanatical these people are. They blindly follow question nothing. Madness.

        The 50% idiots are still US citizens. I don’t know why people act like we’re all just supposed to act like millions of people, and millions more who are “undecided voters” just don’t count. I know there are good people in the US, really I do, but as a country you can’t just act like the people you don’t like aren’t such a major part of the fabric of the place. Besides, the propaganda isn’t even that clever and half the time is just an excuse for people to say what they’re already thinking out loud.

        Ya’ll need to accept that this is who you are if you’re ever going to grow out of it. And you need to understand that I don’t give shit about the good people there if the main export of my neighbour is pain and suffering.

        Canadians are disappointing me right now, and I’m not going to act like they aren’t Canadians. I’m from Ontario, and we couldn’t even rustle up 50% voter turnout to get rid of an obvious criminal at the helm of the province. That’s not me but is us.

    Regarding the joint ICE/ DoD operations in LA, from the memo:

    It hasn’t been perfect, and we’re still working through best practices together, but I think it’s a good indicator of the type of operations (and resistance) we’re going to be working through for years to come.

    They are counting on MAGA Nazi rule forever. There will NEVER be another fair election, if there any elections at all.

    This is the initial step to create an armed military force within America, dedicated to controlling American cities and citizens by force.

      People didn’t believe that he even said that, and when I showed them the video, they said it was out of context. And when I provided full context, they said he didn’t mean it like that. When I showed other examples of him suggesting similar, they shrugged. Pretty soon they’ll be saying it was always the plan, and we should accept it.

        Next few years are gonna be an atomic answer to the question… “what I would’ve done in Germany 1930?”.

        For the Americans and also for us European which can’t do much (and for many rising countries which hope in a better and more democratic life).

        I never believed I would experienced anything most important than WWII, but what US are going to experience until the next election (or over), it’s going to impact the world balance even more.

    Marines. In American cities. In June and July. “Guarding” federal offices and intimidating demonstrators.

    And now, we’ve learned that smaller units have been sent to Florida and are prepping for deployment to Texas and Louisiana. The memo wasn’t a warning. It was a blueprint. A playbook for turning the world’s most powerful military force inward and turning constitutionally protected First Amendment political dissent into a “national security threat.”

    Don’t believe Trump’s PR spin or the media’s pretending this isn’t as illegal and anti-democracy as it is. Don’t let the uniforms fool you into thinking this is routine.

    This is not normal.
    This is not legal.
    This is not American.

    This memo, which Pete Hegseth and friends didn’t intend you and I would ever be able to read:

    • Urges DHS to persuade top military brass to view immigration enforcement as a “homeland defense mission.”
    • Seeks to embed armed, kill-trained military personnel inside ICE and CBP to “increase information sharing” and support “nationwide operational planning.”
    • Frames transnational gangs and cartels as equivalent to al-Qaeda, a dangerous, dishonest leap that pretends to justify extreme, deadly force.
    • And it admits, in its own words, that due to the “sensitive nature” of the meeting it documents, “minimal written policy or background” should be preserved.

      Personally, I’m glad to see America’s military turned inward. Better than turning it outward.

      The world just has to hold out until the American economy collapses. The American left (both the Democrats and the grassroots movements) is completely ineffectual, but the more Trump’s idiocy starts to impact the pocketbooks of his right-wing supporters the greater the chance for change.

        You do realize that when dictatorships/kleptocracies burn through their economic output at home, they tend to turn outward (to war) to keep the pyramid scheme going? It’s not in anyone’s interest to let America metastasize like this.

          Would you rather they start their invasions when they’re still strong? Yeah, it would’ve been nice if Americans gave a damn about democracy and actually responded to their country’s obvious slide to fascism over the last 20+ years, but it’s clear now that that was never in the cards. The only options were fascism under a self-centred moron like Trump, who’ll keep more of the damage contained to within the United States, or fascism under a Bush-style warmonger, who’s first response to any problem would be to start bombing.

        Plenty of historians documented the process. General apathy, combined with a delusional denial that anything bad could be connected with the superstar leadership. “If Hitler only knew” was actually a thing people would say about the suffering. And he enjoyed just as much support after the war as before, because, yeah, delusion.

          The guy with the huge post talked about it and it’s not objectionable at all.

              The issue is less that you’re being objectionable. The issue is that you’re trying to shove other people in front of you (admins) for them to be objectionable.

              And it’s not that hard to follow the rules while still making your point.

      i’m incapable of extending any emotion regarding fascism publicly nowadays. it has been beaten out of me by the gaslighting and accusations of doomerism. my favorite is when people i talk to say, well, what are YOU doing?," as if one of my main points hasn’t been we are all currently powerless without collective unity and not everyone is near support or capable of forming their own group. i don’t see any organization doing what needs to be done, because what needs to be done can’t be discussed, and on websites like Lemmy merely acknowledging that fact could flag my account.

    Well, at least when we’re forced to let soldiers stay in our homes (like the British forced upon the colonists) we’ll finally be great again. I mean, that’s where we’re headed. Once he’s king, we’ll be great and all this democracy bullshit will be in the rearview mirror. FINALLY! A leader brave enough to just do what it takes and reestablish monarchy.
