Already looking ahead to the turmoil his re-election could cause, Donald Trump and his allies are reportedly circling an idea to invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, deploying the military to act as domestic law enforcement.
According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, the drafting of such plans has largely been “unofficially outsourced” thus far to a coalition of right-wing think tanks working under the title “Project 2025.” It was identified as an immediate priority for the hypothetical resurrected Trump administration, internal communications obtained by the newspaper showed.
In response to questions from the Post, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung provided a statement: “President Trump is focused on crushing his opponents in the primary election and then going on to beat Crooked Joe Biden,” he said. “President Trump has always stood for law and order, and protecting the Constitution.”
And recent polls have him gaining literally 10 points on basically every demographic versus 2020. How? I have no fucking idea. But he’s up in swing states because black men and Latinos and white people under 35 have apparently decided that Trump is fine all of a sudden.
Also some young folks: My vote doesn’t matter, so why vote?
Hnnngggghhhh I’m trying not to strangle them collectively.
Biden isn’t doing so well that is how. You can deflect blame all you want but when nearly everyone is poorer than they were in 2020, when Eastern Europe and the middle east is on fire, when abortion is now illegal in most of the country, when student loan debt and living expenses promise a disaster, when pretty much everything that was broken 3 years ago is still broken the polls will reflect that.
If he could fix one major problem.
