In reply to the discussion: My 4 year psychological survival plan for my wife and I. added - THANK YOU All. I am stunned! [View all]

(3,365 posts)93. I won't give Trump the pretext for the Insurrection Act and the military on American soil.
So I won't be marching. Not for a long time anyway. There may be circumstances where it's the right time, but that would come when masses of Americans feel the same way.
The likelihood of agitators embedding and creating violence just so Trump has his pretext is too great. The explosion of membership in Patriot Front, Proud Boys, III Percenters, etc. is too great. Plus if you read the ProPublica article (https://www.propublica.org/article/ap3-oath-keepers-militia-mole), they are spying on journalists and others and keeping dossiers on them. I wouldn't want to be taken out through their activities now before I got to accomplish anything for democracy.
