What if the national guard on the streets is part of a bigger plan? (Heavy Star Wars SPOILERS)

[Renew Deal]

Seeing all the soldiers on the streets and everything going on reminds me of Star Wars Episode 3. What are the chances that someone issues Order 66? I can easily see McConnell going full Palpatine rage while liberty dies with thunderous applause.

1. McConnell is allowed to issue orders to the National Guard?

2. Was Palpatine allowed to issue orders to the Galactic Republic?

Only after he took over.

9. So McConnell is going to take over the government

And have the National Guard kill everyone. Gotcha.

4. When my boyfriend first mentioned the guard presence yesterday, I

said, "I wonder which side they are on?". I truly hope it's ours. I can't believe this is where we are, I am aware of how wacko this sounds.

Things get worse before they get better? I thought it already got worse, was hoping for the better.
