Yeah, as much as I think that the events unfolding requires guillotines and a revolution, it’s clear that Trump is trying to provoke the people to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to say do not be afraid to start one, if it weren’t for the fact that the opposition is not united and unprepared for a potential conflict. It’s going to be like the Spanish Civil War, where the factions of anti-fascists-- the liberals, socialists, anarchists and communists-- were too busy shooting at each other than at fascists, which made Franco won the civil war and ushered in 40 years of totalitarianism.
The American left really needs to think about the possibility of a civil war if electoralism fails. Who’s going to organise and lead the opposition? Trump is Franco who has the military and support of Russia should it come to it. The American anti-fascists may not have one.
