Discussion on Political Mobilization and Reform
current thinking is that if they're able to mobilize in huge
numbers in the streets, President Trump, if it's nationwide, will
decide to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows him to deploy the
US military for domestic law enforcement.
Activists will then claim widespread abuses as the military
struggles to restore law and order.
Then the press will collaborate with activists, amplifying
their wild claims with video snippets on social media.
Then blue state governors, this is their dream, seeing the chaos,
will unite to try to override federal authority,
take over federal functions, and eventually even rewrite our
Constitution or just dissolve it altogether.
And all actions taken are always going to be justified, it's
important to remember this, with the fate goal of their
restoring democracy.
Now, this scenario is being openly discussed among top former
staffers
of Obama and Biden, former government employees of agencies
like USAID, and of course, community organizers.
But they're not overthrowing the government. They'd never use
that language.
They're reforming the government.
Former USAID staffer Danielle Reiff makes it sound like
utopia.
You have to reform your institutions so that it,
you know, that becomes the foundational framework-
Mm
... uh, for society. And so we're gonna have to, if
we wanna live in, uh,
peace and deeper democracy, reform our legal frameworks,
um, to foster collaboration across divides
and unity and
diversity.
Oh, wonderful.
