I’m gonna strategize an escape plan with a friend pretty soon. We’re both queer guys, but I pass as straight and maybe he does? (I have a good gaydar so I got the vibes as soon as I met him). For our sake, I think we’re both safe as I’ve done some research on Project 2025 and I think foreigners, homeless people, and trans people will be the main targets. But he’s a smart dude who is intimately aware of the ins and outs of politics and already has sort of a back up plan
You are correct in theory. But I’m very good at predicting his moves. He essentially has control over law enforcement in DC via the national guard, and I would bet he tries to do this in other cities as well. He encouraged the arrest of homeless people and mentally ill people in advance to this. If they declare being trans a mental illness, then they have a way to lock away homeless people and trans people. And then the military, under control of the President, is policing our cities…
Lol. Hopefully I remember about this post when this happens. Maybe I’ll update it if the national guard gets deployed to other cities besides DC. Do you think it’s possible that he tries that? Is that something that Trump would do? (Is it American to have military ruling our cities, or is it more Venezuelan or Russian? 🤔)
The President has the power to exert emergency efforts in the capital city for 30 days. Further than that requires congressional approval. Again, you’re trained to hear a headline and immediately jump to DiCTatOR, when he’s acting completely within his authority to clean up our fucking country. Thankfully this time he’s not letting screams from people like you to deter him.
