The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1 as the government shutdown drags on.
Yes, the super prepared, intelligent, and amazing forethought that this administration has would be prepared to take on a massive and over-armed populace of citizens.
The sheer size and population of the United States make it logistically unfeasible for the military to take over all civilian government functions nationwide. A full takeover would require a massive and sustained deployment of troops across thousands of jurisdictions, overwhelming military resources. A large-scale military takeover would likely be met with widespread civil disobedience, protests, and resistance from the public. Americans have a deep-seated tradition of suspicion toward military involvement in domestic affairs, a sentiment that would likely lead to widespread noncompliance. Military forces are trained for combat and security operations, not for managing complex civilian systems. They lack the specific expertise needed to run government agencies, manage infrastructure, operate courts, and handle public health crises, which would likely lead to chaos and mismanagement.
I mean, yes, it would be hard and almost impossible for these guys to pull off, but I don’t think you’re understanding that they will have the class traitors (police) in almost every place on their side, AND 33-60% of the population on their side. When fox news and the local politicians they elected tell them everything will be just fine, let them handle it, the chuds will not rise up except against ‘those demonrat neighbors.’
In blue states and cities, sure, they’ll have a few problems, but they’ll do exactly what they did in iraq/afghanistan and interface with/rule through the local politicians that support them, and unlike elsewhere, they’ll know exactly who to trust (it’s not hard to see the [R] next to a politician’s name AND get their voting record] to be assholes. This just lets them give power to the dick who will use it to attack anything they consider ‘other’ in their local government bodies.
i’m just going to put out there that the last time the us military won a war against an entrenched guerrilla force was in 1902. This is with a the largest most armed and equipped force in the world, uninterruptible supply lines and a secure military industrial complex and effectively infinate money.
if one were to grow within the us, the military would have the added issues of difficulty in collecting taxes, defending the neigh limitless strategic and venerable assets that are currently defended by nothing more than civility, and a pinky swear, and being VASTLY outgunned. there is also the problem of mass desertion after being ordered to do what we did to the populations surrounding insurgencies.
I don’t know about that. Those whackos on Jan. 6th had no problem trying to harm the police that got in their way. And they will have a lot less people on their side if they have tanks rolling down our streets while a subset of the population starves.
