There are a lot of rumors circulating online.
The scariest of them is the idea that trump is going to invoke the insurrection act on April 20th when the report from the southern border comes back
Realistically what does that look like? What can be done to prepare?
God we’re so colossally fucked

Get a six pack of Mikes Hard Lemonade and get ready to kick back and do absolutely fucking nothing.
The fact we have specific dates for this going through makes me think it’s just a ploy to get people worked up, and then make the opposition seem unhinged when nothing happens.
Insurrection act against what? Seriously? I think they wanted a huge protest. So far, some Teslas have been vandalized. No cities have been burned. The government employees attacked were Democrats attacked by crazy conservatives. We have had some big peaceful protests with mean signs. The only people insurrecting is Trump’s executive branch by ignoring court orders and due process.
Nothing. And most people ain’t gonna do a god damn thing, because they have too much to lose.
Stock up on frozen food, dried goods and water. Start building on hand cash reserves. If you’re in a city make an exit plan and make some go bags. Having a plan if shtf is better than winging it.
More than likely the average joe will be fine. Look to Hungary and Russia to see what life may be like by the end of the term.

This is the first time in my life I’ve been worried to the point where I’m spending my disposable income on ammunition. I’ll either be prepared for the worst, or I’ll have a great time at my sniper range ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Realistically, he won’t do it, or if he does, he will apply it only with respect to border areas that don’t already have a strong local police force. My reasoning is that a lot of his power right now is grounded in the things he might do, and should he push hard only for the military or national guard to give a tepid response that does the bare minimum because they don’t want civil war, it would turn Trump into the lamest of ducks.
My next guess is that if he does invoke it, the military and national guard will run things by the book, defer most actions to the local police, and play a supporting role in preparation for inevitable lawsuits and court orders. Odds are, national guardsmen and the military will abide by court decisions rather than every single thing coming out of Trump’s mouth in order to protect themselves. If a court states that Trump’s declaration is invalid and puts it on hold, individual guardsman and GIs aren’t going to risk ignoring it because any illegal actions they commit would be state crimes that a federal pardon couldn’t get them out of.
The worst outcome would be states and local jurisdictions actively resisting, which would be a tinderbox awaiting some shootout to happen and all Hell to break loose.
There’s never a bad time to buy an AR15 and a concealable Handgun. Practice often!
I’m just deleting comments for now.
But going forward the clever attempts to imply you are working around Reddit site wide rules against calls for violence will result in a minimum of a 14 day ban.
He will start with the Roosevelt beltway in DC in declaring Marshall Law- which will then pave the way for him to put boots ( our own military) on the ground wherever he says – he’ll say he’s “securing the southern border “ first, making any area with US troops on it “ a military base”- that way anyone setting foot on that area can be taken ( or probably just shot). For the vast majority of us it won’t mean anything right away- unless he expands Marshall Law to the entire nation. After that, who knows. It’ll most likely come down to individual members of the military deciding if they’re going to uphold their oath to our Constitution, or declare fealty to king KRASNOV.
The White House pretty much laid this all out in a horrific Executive Order last week.
If you don’t go to Washington DC and openly, obnoxiously, and illegally smoke a bunch of weed right in front of the White House fence, you’re a pussy who deserves to lose.

Well there’s your problem.
>God we’re so colossally fucked
I mean, if people are creating reddit threads over internet rumors and maybe reacting in other ways besides getting off the internet to do something not-crazy, then yeah, we are.
