Trump released the insurrectionists for a reason.

They are his private military, if they are ever needed.

Some have said that they would do it again (January 6th) if Trump asked them to do it.

He likely has plans to do just that. Especially if the reactions to his "policies" become too heated. He now has his own militia.

There is nothing this fool will not do, if he thinks he can get away with it.

1. That is how it started with the Nazis in the 1930's.

Hitler had his Brown Shirts and Hitler Youth. Then the SS and Gestapo.

History is repeating itself as tRump banks on generations NOT KNOWING what took place 90 years ago.

7. He's Jonesing for something to happen

so he can declare a national emergency and call up both his militia and the military to step in and enforce everyone to obey and adulate him.

I think there's a very real possibility that a lot of Americans will die before his term is up.

2. He will now have his own SS troops.

3. Fear.....................

Estimated.

4. These 1500 are not all powerful. I would hope that if they are called upon to take over the government illegally,

violently enough people could be mustered to defeat them. We should not act like we are afraid of them.They should be afraid of us.

5. Yes, exactly. And I think it's a gesture that will be

interpreted by the MAGA community as an invitation to perpetrate outrageous acts on his behalf without fear of consequences. Then add those Constitutional Sheriffs into the mix and they may not even face arrest for all sorts of indecent and violent actions, not only on Trump's behalf but perpetrated against vulnerable populations like immigrants and transgender folks. Imagine a world in which the murder of Matthew Shepherd is completely ignored and unpunished?

8. I fully expect some of the crazies to go after perceived enemies with violence. It's only a matter of time.

First, they'll probably head to the border for some target practice. The only possible consequence for any of them is to be charged by states rather than the federal government since the king will no doubt pardon them again.
