The chinese were properly equipped to take on the government. We still have a bunch of people out there unprotected.

Kinda seen this coming,he has to commit to the strong man talk now.This will put a battery in the back of some right wing nut cases but the 2nd amendment can cut both ways..strap up brehs and make the shyts count,dikkbreath is trying to have his village idiots do the work for him backed by the military but again a short sighted strategy,since the economy is in shambles, record unemployment and public scrutiny around the world .He has to follow protocol to actually invoke this act which will be harder then he thinks if not impossible in the current climate,dude is one move from checkmate and he knows it

Provoking a national crisis and declaring martial law in order to overturn democracy is authoritarian 101
He already proved that institutions failed to contain him and the more shyt he does that would probably land him in jail once he is out of office, the less reason there is for him to risk losing an election.
Apologies if I sound like an a$$hole to US brehs, but institutions and checks and balances are known to become weak in the midst of a crisis. Now y'all got 3 : sanitary, economic, and racial. Under those circumstances a lot can happen, and there's even probably some fine print in some forgotten official documents that states that elections can be suspended under specific circumstances because this or that. Not the same, but France suspended local elections due to the Rona. Algeria suspended the presidential elections due to their uprising (which hardly had any violence), which in effect prolonged Bouteflika's rule (he later resigned, and elections were eventually held). The US obviously is a powerful and more democratic country, but it's still a country made of men and women, and we all know how people can go rogue and forget all about institutions, decency and common good during a time of crisis. Also, if the elections do happen, one can't exclude the possibility of various forms of intimidation. All elections aren't good ones. But November is still in a couple of months, who knows how the situation evolves. Hopefully for the best.

Last time this was used was during Rodney King FYI.
Now imagine if they find this man not guilty
that trial will be 18 months from now long after all of this has died down....no way in hell the government will have that trial this calendar year
This. And the problem in Western democracies is the belief that authoritarian coups are only happening elsewhere. This is what allowed Trump to go as far as he did, because if elites had recognized the danger Trump posed for what it is, they would have acted to contain him when they still had the chance to do so. They chose complacency, because it was more comfortable and now they are caught sitting on their hands in the middle of the perfect storm.

All facts, especially the bolded. Like they don't know their own history. Add to that the myths of "American exceptionalism" or "French Grandeur" and it's a wrap.
