How To Violently Prevent Trump From Taking Power
2016-12-15

Oh the stupid is strong with this one
[Medium.com] For the dense, let me just state unequivocally up front that I do not support this plan, and I do not advocate that violent measures be used to stop Trump. That said, there are innumerable high-profile pundits and political figures who have characterized the threat Trump poses as unprecedented. Many have thrown around the word "fascist." If that's your view of Trump, that he's not just a garden variety-level threat ‐ the kind we should be accustomed to by dint of living in a rapidly declining hegemonic imperial prison state ‐ but something exponentially more destructive and terrifying, then certain previously-unthinkable preventive tactics would be warranted.
Assuming the average cock splash of a liberal is trained in anything more than yelling and waving signs
If I took this view of Trump, and was able-bodied, here's what I'd do to prove that I actually believe my own rhetoric, rather than just spout alarmist nonsense for political effect.

I'd assemble armed resistance brigades in and around states that voted for Trump. I'd make sure the participants are well-trained in urban combat. I'd do drills. I'd ensure that secure communications have been established to enable inter-state coordination. I'd impart to participants that they should be prepared to face severe state punishment for their rebellious acts‐ perhaps even death.
These are called "militias". Currently, people you call "right wing" are involved in such organizations. Also another flaw in the plan is to assume your gun controlling spunk wastes would actually have guns and be trained in their use.
Another stupid assumption is that "urban warfare" thingy. What happens when you storm the Winter Palace and there's nobody there? Your heroic urban guerrilleros could find themselves without water, light, and a few other things, since they're supplied from the 'burbs. You know that lefty saying about "what if they gave a war and nobody came?" How about what if they gave a war and somebody turned the power off. It's not hard to reinvent siege warfare if you get good and pissed.
The plan would be as such. The brigades would position at Republican state capitals (Harrisburg PA, Lansing MI, Raleigh NC, etc.) where the Electoral College is due to meet on December 19. I'd make sure every Elector expected to vote for Trump is identified. The night of December 18, the brigades would forge a blockade at the various state capitol buildings. Electors identified as Republican and/or Trump supporters would be physically prevented from entering, if necessary by lethal force. It's possible that Electors would scramble to meet someplace other than the state capitol building; the resistance must take precautions to ensure this does not happen, possibly by physically restraining the Electors, imprisoning them, or worse.
News flash... the "militias" and common gun toting citizen would shoot your asses down faster than you can say "Not my president".
"Active shooters" also tend to get bumped off by responding police. Preventing the electors from gathering would put the election into the House.
If this is carried out successfully in enough Republican state capitals, Trump will fail to receive the requisite 270 electoral votes, and the election would be decided in the House of Representatives. Who the hell knows what would happen at that point.
Full scale civil war and the slaughter of your gun control loving idiots. Next question.
Again: I don't support the enactment of this plan. In fact, I vigorously oppose it. However, if I took the extreme view of Trump that so many in our media class do, I'd see it as morally obligatory.
I see you as intellectually wanting and not in this realm called "reality", but go ahead. Try it. I dare you.

#18  Nero White, the left has still not woken up the sleeping giant when it comes to conflict. The article and the responses here are all talking about that day.

#17  Nero has a point; collectivists are among history's most prolific murderers.

However:

General Mills here, safe in his mother's bunker, knows as much about fighting and strife as I know about spiced coffee and man-buns. In no physical shape, admits that.

Yeah, I love the tone, "I'm not going to sit here and talk about how ugly your wife is, but if I would, it would include something about a horse's ass and your wife's beard."

So he cannot form The Devil's Food Brigade, asking others to do so - the true believers, BLM, MB. Really he is just diddling himself to Command and Conquer music before mother's cake is ready.

Anyone ready to fight and die for General Mills here?

#16  #13 How will you do all this from your safe space?

"With our bongs and our dildos, we will lead the People to a great Victory!"
"Wait. Victory is like winning, which is oppressive and patriarchal."
"Yah, OK. Howzabout to a great Triumph?"
"No, that sounds too much like Trump."
"Hmmm, we better appoint a committee to develop a slogan"

While I do appreciate the passive-aggressive, your-wife-is-ugly-haha-just-kidding nature of this fantasy, you realize the whole thing could be stopped cold by just giving everyone a t-shirt for participation and telling them to go home.

#15  Survival Rule of 3:

  • 3 minutes without air

  • 3 days without water

  • 3 weeks without food


Cut off the water, electricity, comm, and transport and you have just reduced the ammo requirements down to minimal. No electricity and no refrigeration, light, sewage removal and treatment. It will get very nasty, like a city-sized petri dish for disease. 4 Horseman style. This will be horrific and devastating. Sun Tzu is smiling somewhere, realizing that someone read his book, and put it to good use.

#14  Violent measures were used against Trump through out the Presidential campaign. Many supporters were chased down in the streets and bludgeoned. The left has plenty of trained assassins. 12 cops were cut down in a few seconds in Dallas.

Almost 40 troops cut down in Ft Hood.

With all of the over confidence displayed here amidst years of left wing sanctioned militant attacks, the right has a long way to go.

#12  I hope they do not figure out the best way to preserve covert operational security tactical is a white uniform with randomly arranged reflective circles. With the veganball-z shoes, one does not have to even be initially physically fit. Nightmare scenario.

#11  Oh no, by all means take your brigade of special snowflakes to downtown Topeka. Urban combat is tough, so I suggest light clothing and lots and lots of 3.1415 assault rounds.

If I may, I would also suggest activating 30 person brigades out in territorial capitals such as Dodge City because there is a lot of land in flyover country. Available are the 48th 'groundhogs' and the 14th 'coyotes'. Locally to Topeka is the 18th 'bed knobs and broomsticks'. They could urban assault perimeter patrol from Topeka to Leavenworth and back twice daily.

Just....let me watch.

#10  "I'd assemble armed resistance brigades in and around states that voted for Trump (the states with well armed citizenry). I'd make sure the participants are well-trained in urban combat (which would mean mostly veterans who tend to vote overwhelmingly for Trump)."

I think this guy just wants to get lefties killed.

#9  There are not many democrats that understand urban warfare. This would be nothing more that a gathering in a park, a blocked highway, and a bunch of yelling and crying because someone turned off the cel towers. But what this guy is explaining IS the next step from liberal/progressivism to fascism. They are describing a version of crystal night. This is upsetting and should be met with violence. The same way the Hitler brown shirts should have been met with violence.

#8  It's funny how quiet the lefties get when you point out killing the power grid to the cities, shutting down the highways bringing in food and turning off the water pipelines coming into the city will end any 'civil' war in two weeks.

#7  Solution.

Make sure .40 G22 is clean and fully loaded with 500-rounds reserved. (Should probably get more now)

Take 'upland gamebird plug' out of older Browning 12-guage auto (plus change barrel to 'modified' or 'improved' - have both + full) and load five + chamber with 00 (100 rounds reserved). Don't use slugs, 00 through 2 have the required patterns and outcomes in an urban environment.

Get more ammo for both, then go hunting.

#6  'I'd make sure the participants were well trained in urban combat.' Leaving aside the whole entire time table issue and all, that is pure comedy gold. A mere suggestion sweet heart, don't forget adequate supplies of papier mache and Laurie Anderson albums to keep your motivation going.

#5  Three days supply.

We could take your sorry ass out by shutting off the roads and railroads into your city, and/or shutting off the EBT cards, and/or firing every do-nothing government employees around those state capitals.

After three days, most American cities will run out of food. The thugs five blocks away will come to Mr. Medium's adolescent playground urban neighborhood. They will demand all your food and likely rape your daughters and wife and kill you as a bonus. There aren't enough cops to protect you when this happens.

And the part that Mr. Medium doesn't get is that when they burst into his house and are raping his women while ransacking his food stores, he'll stammer, "B-b-but I was against the Iraq War, and I voted for Obama and Clinton, and I hate Christians, and I'm diverse, n'stuff, don't do this to me, do it to right-wingers in Kansas!", thinking the thugs will say, "Oh, OK, sorry".

The reality is that they won't even spare the breath to laugh at him while pulling the trigger of the 9 MM that blows his brains all over his expensive wall art.

Perpetual adolescents, living in their urban playgrounds, listening to NPR, and telling themselves they've got it all figured out and are always the smartest person in the room self-identify as idiots when they do not realize the truth of the three days supply scenario.

#4  working on the assumption that no one's going to resist them

Consequence of experience.

#3  I'm not gonna lie. This got me, too. But that second paragraph... you hardly ever see anyone that stupid, that ignorant, and that confident all at the same time. Sniff sniff dig dig. Too sleepy now to figure the intended target(s). Tentatively filed under "mad genius."

#2  This genius is making "plans" working on the assumption that no one's going to resist them. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
