(1/x) We need to organize to protect each other and fight this while we still have some semblance of freedom. There are police forces across the country with military grade weapons and probably the vast majority are very loyal to Trump,
(2/x) and then the military itself (though I’ve heard mixed things about soldiers’ loyalties to Trump) and national guard. Just like when there’s a BLM protest and the national guard shows up in a day, if there’s a coup, police are *already* everywhere, and then
(3/x) the national guard and military can also be deployed throughout the country within a day. They can also massively ramp up censorship online and increase tracking down and arresting people for their political organizing or news-sharing. All the above, & many very bad things,
(4/x) have of course already *been* happening for the whole course of US history, but that doesn’t negate the fact that living under a dictatorship will be a massive change on a massive scale with violence and repression ramped up even more every way to opposition or even
(5/x) just perceived opposition. This is how dictatorships work. It’s in the history books. I’ve read about it in Chile.
