    Here’s an unpleasant thought for you to chew on. It becomes increasingly clear that’s exactly what they want. When they get it (not if, because if we don’t oblige them a false flag will be attempted) they will enact martial law. Elections will be suspended and a war of conquest will begin. Likely Greenland. Not many dominoes down the road from world war.

      Then it needs ti happen now and not in a few months when it does. Kicking the can down the road is just going to make the can much larger later

        If they’re serious about this coup from within, they’ll make sure it happens before the US midterms. It would be to our advantage if it didn’t.

          If they play their cards too quickly, they have less support. If they can gradually ramp up fear of resistance, they have a better chance of succeeding. Too slow, they get voted out. Too fast, they might get too much resistance from people, including those in uniform.

          The fact that they are doing school raids the day after murdering someone means they are ramping up pretty quick. The fact that nobody protesting has been killed means they are not ramping up as quickly as some expected.

              Yes. There are stats on how protests of a certain size always leads to change. Voting works. Protests work.

              They will try to make protests unattractive. Making them illegal or violent. Either from within or from armed forces. Of they do it wrong, they generate more support. If they do it how they want, they suppress resistance and/or start a civil war that allows them to stop elections.
