In this speech, Trump explains that the radical left is “invading” our country, and that he and his administration are going to “take them out very quickly.”
He seems to be talking about civil war. If so, this will be much different than the Union vs. the Confederacy, where the enemies lived in different parts of the country and the soldiers wore different colored uniforms.
Here, to take an example, we have high school faculties that are a blend of both liberals and conservatives. If you’re stupid enough to believe that the liberals are invading the United States and need to be removed, you have a real challenge on your hands, not only legally, but logistically as well.
Now, I suppose he could simply have the military deploy machine guns and wipe out each one of the seven million men, women, and children in protests like “No Kings” protesters. Or maybe just round them up and deport them. He has no regard for the Constitution and rule of law anyway, so maybe this isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.
One thing that Trump doesn’t seem to be considering, though, is that “the military” is run by generals and admirals who are sane and intelligent people, who have sworn an oath would prevent them to committing atrocities at the behest of a psychotic in the White House.
Wow. Life in America gets more absurd with each passing day.
There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
