Before you scoff and think to yourself "That would never happen here", cast your mind back to the long hot summer of unrest in '67. And then consider the reality of Sherman tanks on the streets of Detroit

That tank looks more like an M48 Patton (judging by the turret) than a Sherman, or an M60 Patton (judging by the track shape).
The Sherman is WWII, the M48 is Korean War era, the M60 would be Vietnam, so it would make sense in 1967 that it's an M48.
I’d like the military to target him
and still it is a close race.
civilized usa? i dont think so.
oh awesome this just reminded me I forgot to put my passport application in
Tomorrow is a weekday. Do it. :3
Federal holiday
Skill issue
I really hope the US military is not dumb enough to hand the country over to this madman if he tries to steal another election
Have you met the U.S. military?
To be fair, they did stop him from nuking things the last time he was in office.
They did?
Remember to vote third party or not at all to teach us all a lesson…. s/

Two citizens have tried so far.....
Now, for Lemmy rules reasons, I can't SAY that you should be the change you want to see in the world.
However, I CAN say that it's the republicans themselves that refuse to close down a gun sales program, and refuse to adopt a firearms control policy. So legally speaking, there's nothing at all preventing ANYONE, literally ANYONE from legally buying just a shitload of firearms. Anf an armies worth of ammunition.
So I can't tell you HOW to use that information. But I can say to follow your dreams! Do with that information what you will....

Fuck it, weather trump wins or loses there will be violence like the time he won and there was a huge uptick in hate crimes, and the time he lost I dont need to explain. Weather he dies naturally, by assassination, or by his own hand, people will lie and make conspiracies that will lead to more violence. I can't suggest anyone do anything but to me the logic says the sooner Trumps underground the better society will fare, no matter how it happens. The band aid will be rippd off eventually, why let him ruin everything until that happens?
Oh like he deployed the military on the radical right lunatics on January 6th... Oh wait...
snuffing out internal leftist movements is an American tradition.
Trump casually applying the CIA playbook to the USA.
Mayhem has begun
