GOP Run SCOTUS Goal. To Install Permanent GOP Rule & Military Dictatorship.

All you have to do is see how much security surrounds the GOP. Sure Democrats share the same space but the hyper security and the securing in the Capitol is to protect the GOP and their power once people wake up to what they are up to. I believe there will be widespread suppression of demonstrations as we move forward.

The charges against the inauguration protesters was just a test run. The looming laws the GOP wants to pass is about making ALL demonstrators responsible is any violence or property damage occurs.

The new GOP justice system with white supremacist judges are there to strike down civil rights legislation. There will be only justice for people who are not rich. Kavanaugh getting a free pass is the message of what will come. He will also seek revenge against anything that helps people or is considered coming from lefty Democrats.

Sure what I am saying sounds extreme. Why do we need to have huge increases in military spending? And why are we arming out police forces with state of the art military equipment?

We might even get theocratic government as a benefit. They will demand their cut.

1. Given the drift of this country, I would not be surprised to see Martial Law enacted temporarily

or permanently some time in my life. That, is why we have to work to get these damn undesirables out of political office. The American populace needs to wake up and quit being so damn weak. Many just can't bother to vote, a total WTF to me. The US is less than 5% of the worlds' population. I wonder how many even know this. Given the drift, America will eventually be sent to the back seat by the rest of the world.

martial law or something like it would be enforced on us but I was told I am wrong and it would never happen. I was even told here on DU that I was wrong and it would not happen. So now I am not being silly anymore huh?

Tump likely to be protected when he ends the investigation. I now believe that things are much worse than I imagined after witnessing today's criminality. Seeing an unhinged hateful predator who will be confirmed is totally unbelievable.

For a long time I felt this time may be coming. Sometime in the Reagan years.

and a dictatorship is effectively in place right now if they can put this right wing partisan rapist on our Supreme Court against the will of the majority of American people.

here we are now. And we warned of SCOTUS changes, and here we are now. Countries can change drastically. Far too many Americans IMO just assume this country will just go on and on, especially those too lazy to vote, and also those that fall for propaganda like tRump spews out.

10. Anything Is Possible With The GOP Now That It Will Have SCOTUS Cover.

Would be shocked if Kavanaugh was not confirmed. My post sounds wild and I hope I Am wearing a tin foil hat.

Now there are a couple of things that have been going on. There have been subtle moves regarding protesting. At first certain acts of the police did not seem like much. The police seem to be more interested in protecting the white supremacist elements. Certain kinds of attacks on Democrats are happening more often. The Dems are being framed as the enemy. Today's diatribe was a direct attack on Dems as against the rule of law. That simple.

Now go back to the "occupy" movement. The movement was primarily about economic and social justice. It was about job security, decent pay, and protections for workers. I live in Denver and the police cracked down on "occupy" They even tickets drivers honking for support. They shut off access to the occupiers. They dismantled and destroyed their equipment. They were dispersed.

Then move forward over time. In the Seattle area I believe the police raided sites where "occupy" had been organizing. They took their computers and probably arrested them. Nationwide there was an attack on "occupy". They were labeled anarchist, communists or whatever excuse there was break up the movement, which succeeded. Key individuals were ID'ed and pursued.

Of course by then the media had moved on. Democrats were fearful of endorsing the movement for fear of being labeled anti American, socialists or Marxist.

What I have said is probably a stretch. Just listen to Trump & the GOP. They detest any kickback no matter how minor. Today's diatribe was a planned attack on the Democrats who were contesting a tainted process. The GOP wanted to bury Ford. They resented the Democrats for forcing the issue.

Right now the Democrats are being branded as the Marxist enemy who wants to take down the country and take down Trump.
We are in a midst of a war declared by the GOP. Given the power the GOP will do more harm than you know. I have only brought what is now possible. I am not saying it will happen. But the trends are troubling.
