    The threat of Martial Law is a conspiracy theory at best. There aren’t nearly enough troops AND police to institute it. Stop trying to pretend it’s even possible

    To the downvoters: get over yourselves. It’s simple mathematics. This video explains it all.

        The US is notoriously bad at dealing with insurgencies. Toppling a government/military is what the military is designed for, and has shown to be able to do in a matter of weeks, but stamping out an armed populace afterwards has always been where they falter. The US would be the most heavily armed insurgency to ever exist. More guns than people here

          But like, it doesn’t really matter, all that matters is that they will try and try to enforce it

          What happened in the countries where they tried to stamp out insurgency? They ended up in rubble for the most part. That’s the scary part

      Yes, there are. 80% of the population can be controlled on mere threats alone. The rest can be dealt with by the authorities.

      Besides, it isnt about whether its possible or not, its all about them believing that they can. If HitlerPig wants to do it, his henchmen know that they have to enthusiastically agree and call him the greatest strategist in the world, or they are out of a job (at best). So they’ll tell him its possible.
