This Trumpy Long Island Politician Plans to Deputize Armed Civilians
This Getty image was posted with accompanying story from The Daily Beast.
Since this picture and its heading tell the story, I am omitting its accompanying text which was written by Zoey Hussain.
I make my own observations, below.
The thing that the trump morons ignore, or, more likely have no knowledge of or ability to comprehend is that this sort of shit, and all the "civil war" and "put the army in the streets" and "race war" and "a pure theocracy" rants and raves are all merely foreplay.
Once it gets going, it will get going ardently; and there'll be no stopping, until it's over.
Kinda like forcible rape.
Et voila: the US becomes Darfur, Cambodia, France 1793, China Cultural Revolution and a plethora of others that I can't remember right now.
It's apparently inevitable, even for an experiment as successful as ours has been.
It's apparently necessary, in general, for the human animal: we need to cleanse the gene pool every now and then.
From Place de la Concorde (had a different name in 1793) to the Killing Fields, something wells up and requires humans to kill one another en masse.
Jefferson even made a lily-livered allusion to the phenomenon: "“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
The problem seems to be and has always been that that phenomenon always demands trumped-up tyrants and trumped-up patriots.
With the trump-it-up apparatus humming along at full force, apparently our turn has come.
