The level of support Trump is finding in the US public for cruel, hateful, murderous policies both at home and abroad has me as doubtful about the future of this country as I have ever been. This public is far, far worse than the one that took 10yrs to realize Vietnam was wrong. Sliding rapidly into irredeemably IMV. This might be the January version of your response. Trump definitely wanted Tiananmen Square in summer 2020 with the bible photo op with Milley during the BLM protests. I am hopeful that color revolution is possible. BTW, the communist regimes that still exist are always and every morning thinking about that list. The missing element in 1989 in Eastern Europe was Soviet desire to pull a Tiananmen Square that allowed the color revolutions. They wish to control any of the symptomatic elements including: religious fervor, ethnic separatism, economic pain. Quote

No, because according to the article: Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to USA TODAY. "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response," So, appropriate for the so-called leader of the free world.

It’s his plan to declare martial law, which would allow him to suspend elections. Suspending elections was on the dock long before this. But yes, a pretext would be convenient. I’m not sure it’s something he himself could do on his own, although he’s doing a lot of things on his own that the Constitution doesn’t allow presidents to do, and everyone is letting him get away with it, so, who knows what’s next.

oblong Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 29 minutes ago, romad1 said: Which of the 1989 endings does Trump want for himself Tiananmen Square (military crackdown which succeeds - likely because strong internal borders and no opposition to the PRC army) Romania (failed crackdown which resulted in execution of the dictator and wife) Poland, Hungary, East Germany (more or less peaceful color revolutions which resulted in the former leaders leaving the scene with some degree of truth and reconciliation for former regime elements) Yugoslavia (a decade of ethnic warfare/ethnic cleansing because regime fractured) I know which one I want. And make sure you film it this time. 1 Quote

"Dad, you WATCHED the coup attempt against Congress and spoke out about it... LOUDLY. And then you just voted for him again anyways... WTF? WHY?" Silence. Quote

Trump has wanted Tiananmen Square for America since 1989. He flat out stated "I hate American Democracy. We should be more like China. THIS is the way to govern. Strong leadership in China! We need this in America!" I'm paraphrasing from memory, I probably don't have the words exactly correct. He declared himself a violent fascist in 1989. But... who cares? Nothing matters with this fascist ****-scum. Naziholic licks his boots no matter WHAT he does to our democracy. Sickening. Quote

Unfortunately I don't see a possibility of color revolution unless things turn around very quickly. And I'm thinking there's a fifth possibility, that's somehow a combination of the other 3. I hope I'm wrong. Quote
