    What if something happpens in American soil? This is really dangerous. Do they want a reason for martial law or 9/11 unity? But on what cost?

      The Horst Wessel strategy failed, so now they are trying Israel’s 10/7 strategy. Leave the door open, aid the enemy, look the other way, and hope they inflict enough damage and horror to justify any manner of atrocity in response.

        The difference is that 9/11 was a surprise, this wouldn’t be. This is the result of MAGA incompetence, and if we get attacked as a result, MAGA will take the blame.

      At the cost of a few thousand American peasants’ lives and one cancelled midterm election. It’s a sacrifice Trump’s prepared to make.

        Nobody is cancelling Midterms, unless some state wants to kiss Trump’s ass that much. Abbot needs to be Senator, or he’s out of a job, do you think he’s going to cancel Texas elections? Do you think California or NY or Illinois is going to cancel their elections just because Trump said so?

        The real problem is going to be forcing Trump, Johnson, and the rest of the MAGA government to accept the new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They’ll flat-out refuse to accept the results of races they don’t like.

        People need to start to write to representatives about this so they start to make this a big deal, before anything happens.

        I hope nothing happens but it’s really scary how they are gutting counter terrorism. Scary stuff

          Writing to people is one option, but if the fucked-over of America could coordinate, they could reverse the country’s course in a weekend.

            I doubt. Trump makes everything an emergency. Anything people do, will be a reason for emergency declaration and no midterms… just because.

            Also I bet they will infiltrate the left and use the same style Gaza BS to convince people to not vote

      I’m reasonably confident that’s precisely what their plan is, and they’ll use it as a justification to call off the elections or something similarly insane.
