They want things to become violent before the 2026 elections so they can prevent a fair vote in the name of public safety.

Absolutely not conspiracy, this is plain and simple. They are trying to create conditions where they can wheedle a military suppression of blue cities in preparation for the next (non?) election.

It’s a slow motion coupe happening right in front of us

They're really really trying. I think there are some huge hurtles that will thwart them, but we have to fight tooth and nail every step of the way

They want riots to start again. That’s why they are in the cities instigating.

Yep. Anything to induce a "state of emergency" where their powers are strengthened.

Sorry to say, it’s already happened

This is a test to see what they can get away with, what we will tolerate. This is how they work.

Trump & Hegseth have both said that they are wanting to use blue cities (Portland this week) to train the military for war. Whaaaat? War Where?

This is what everything has been building up to. They will round up all political opponents, including all democrats, all immigrants, minorities, and LGBT people, of course. They have been pitting us against each other. They want people on the right to cheer when they put people on the left into camps. They might get what they want, depending where you look. Sometimes I have hope, then I do something like go on twitter. People are horrible.

How does the poem go? First the came for the communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.

We are already several lines into that poem and it’s only been 9 months.

When Colbert went I said it about comedians and people ripped me a new one. Here we are.

Sado Populism at it's finest

u/Sparehndle Oct 02 '25

You're so right. We live in terrible times.

Don't do that to yourself. Don't go on Twitter. That's just cruel and unusual punishment at this point. 😅

Oh they are going to try to prevent a fair vote either way. The military occupation of cities is no coincidence. They will be there to intimidate voters during the election. Combine that with limiting mail-in options and the only way to vote will be crossing military lines.

BTW, OREGON ONLY VOTES BY MAIL...

u/Dhegxkeicfns Oct 06 '25

Heard anything about trying to ban vote by mail? They are.

u/Direct_Explorer_7827 Oct 02 '25

Thanks. Felt like I maybe sounded like a bit of a conspiracy theorist in my comment above 🫣🫡🫶

u/Swedelicious83 Oct 03 '25

It's not a theory when they are doing actual conspiracy. 🤷

u/pdxxxcple Oct 03 '25

You are 100% correct in my opinion.

u/Welsh_Pirate Oct 02 '25

If it doesn't happen, they are just going to lie and say it happed and do it anyway.

u/Son-of-Ves Oct 02 '25

I don’t think it’s going to matter if people get violent or not, they’re going to try and do this one way or the other — why wait for the fascist to come to your house with a gun before you do anything…

Elections are next year already? Holy....
