    Nicholas Grossman Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    Populist leaders deploying conspiracy theories to paint popular opposition as illegitimate often precedes violent crackdowns and authoritarian power grabs. Doesn’t mean that’ll happen here. But it’s happened elsewhere (many times) and Trump has his supporters primed.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1049638803177127936 …

    The paid D.C. protesters are now ready to REALLY protest because they haven’t gotten their checks - in other words, they weren’t paid! Screamers in Congress, and outside, were far too obvious - less professional than anticipated by those paying (or not paying) the bills!

        Again. I'm having trouble seeing who would stop him and that it wouldn't have his base's popular support.

        The party and supportive media outlets are pushing the conspiracy theory too, and members who disagree are keeping quiet. So not them.

        The only thing I see standing in his way is that he doesn't have proximate authority over local law enforcement, and I don't see the leadership of the armed forces allowing themselves to be used this way.

        Replying to @WFKARS @epicciuto

        The local police leaders who cheer when the president denounces the media and when he tells them to rough up suspects do not inspire confidence. To be clear, I think this scenario is unlikely. But the chances are less close to zero than they were, and that's unsettling.

        I share your concern. I think this would vary substantially by region.

        I agree it's unlikely. But I expected small-R resistance to him would increase over time among folks in govt. It's hardened. Dunno about military, really.

        Beware of a “presidential alert” that, in addition to 45’s many other tweets, could further incite violence and hatred.

        You know what the answer is? Still More Protests. Coupled with a General Strike. The Brave take to the streets. The Meek just stay home. It's an F'load better option then waiting for the Brownshirts / Proud Boys to knock down your door 😉
