Michael Flynn proposes a coup d'tate.
Dec 3, 2020, 11:02 AM
|
|
First, you have Trump saying in his sprawling 46 minute skreed:
“This election was rigged. Everybody knows it, I don’t mind if I lose an election, but I want to lose an election fair and square. What I don’t want to do is have it stolen from the American people. That’s what we’re fighting for, and we have no choice to be doing that.”
“We already have the proof. We already have the evidence, and it’s very clear. Many people in the media — and even judges — so far have refused to accept it. They know it’s true. They know it’s there. They know who won the election, but they refuse to say you’re right. Our country needs somebody to say, ‘You’re right.’ ”
Then you have Michael Flynn tweeting this:
"Freedom never kneels except for God". with a link to a website calling for "Limited Martial Law to hold a new election".
Under Martial Law, the military takes over. Presumably, they would administer an election.
That is, by definition, a coup.
How far out there are these guys going to get??

If only they had any actual power...unlike The Squad who are ranting and making demands daily.
"The Squad" isn't proposing the overthrow of an election or the imposition of Martial Law in this country. And the President has plenty of "actual" power.

I know you're literally the definition of a Fascist so I know this is confusing to you, but civil unrest is not sedition unless you're actively trying to forcibly knock over the US government. Aside from some extreme far-left Anarcho-Communists and far-righters from Aryan Nation and the Boogaloos we haven't seen any of that.
The closest we've seen is that plot to kidnap Gretchen Widmer...and that was far-right.
Proposing the military intervene to overturn an election is getting into dangerous territory. Well, unless you're a Fascist, which you in fact seem to be. Then it's just, you know, Step 1 in the Policy Plan.

T3
The first step to solving the fascism problem is admitting that there is a problem - so you are on your way.
Too bad I can't say the same for Trump - or Flynn.

You check the boxes. It explains why you have blind adoration for Trump and his agenda (again, this is necessary for fascism).
You supported the ideology many times, and I can go through it if you like. One of the biggest indications is your extreme love for overbearing law enforcement practices. You favor over policing, which is essential to a fascist state.
It's fine if you don't realize you are one. Most don't; I wager even Trump doesn't realize it. Fascism plays upon the hidden desires of the masses who support restrictions on freedom so long as they don't think they're freedoms are restricted. Those in power know how to play upon this.
It's like how most racists don't know they're racist.

You have on many occasions cheered on heavy-handed law enforcement tactics and called for more authoritarian laws/practices to be put in place. You've also tried to justify laws that are clearly just there for revenue generation.

Plenty of live video footage from that event to show that those outside the White House before it went down were not rioting. They were demonstrating lawfully and peacefully.

The other caveat here...
Dec 3, 2020, 3:25 PM
[ in reply to Re: Leave it to T3 to rationalize literally anything.*** ] |
|
You would vigorously support what Flynn is proposing. If Trump suddenly declared martial law and made the military force a new election, you would be on here cheering it and justifying it. A fascist would do that; a critical thinking freedom lover would say, "Listen, I may have voted for this president but this is going too far."
You know you would. You already called for Trump supporters to get violent in the streets following the election. You even claimed if they did, it would be the Dems fault somehow.

Yes, you did when you called for violence.
Let's just simplify it, shall we?
If Trump suddenly acted upon this idea and declared nationwide martial law, then used the military to set up a new election that the military ran under his guidance, would you support such an action? Or would you denounce Trump and this behavior?
It's a simple yes or no. Don't deflect to, "Yeah, but the Dems would..." Just answer what you would do.

And you're doing a wonderful job of convincing everyone you're a temperate individual and not an angry Fascist.
I mean, I would comment further, but you're doing a wonderful job of making our point all on your lonesome.
You. Hate. Everyone. And would love to take it out on us. We all get that, which is why nobody here can stand you.
You. Are. A. Fascist.

T3,
I am not flippin' out. I don't think this will actually come to fruition, but mature adults consider the consequences of their talk - and that should be especially true of supposed leaders like Flynn and Trump.
It is one thing for someone down at the corner tavern to say such things. It is another for a former Lt. General and the Commander-in-chief to spout such ill-considered talk.

Can you point out another time in US History where people in such positions of influence have spoken so seditiously. The Civil War is the only time that even presents this possibility.

badly as Trump. How old were you when that happened? Not born yet? LOL.
Trump has now lost the popular vote in a presidential election, not once, but twice. That has to be a record.

Trump and his buddies are more unAmerican than any major players we have seen in politics in decades. Lock them up if they start a coup.
