Coup or Conspiracy Theory: Setting the goalpost
9 months ago
General
If you've read through my last few journals, you have probably gathered that I am pretty concerned about the political situation in America. But am I on to something, or am I a woke libtard conspiracy theorist? I recognize the possibility that I could be wrong, so I'm setting up the goalpost to "lock in" my speculation. I'm posting this journal on Feb 19, and I'm not going to edit it even if I have embarasing speling mistaeks so no one can accuse me of moving the goalposts after the fact.
Trump just posted "He who saves his country does not violate any law." He is straight up saying that dictators are not bound by the rule of law. Thankfully, the supreme court disagrees with him. The court case Marbury V. Madison sets precedent that the supreme court can strike down any law that it deems unconstitutional. This is where I'm setting the goalpost: the current administration is going to try and overturn Marbury V. Madison. They've already gotten rid of the Chevron Deference, which was a landmark ruling that essentially gave government agencies the power to enforce regulations. If Trump overturns Marbury V Madison, there's no derailing this holocaust train.
Until that happens, call your senator, make them try and fight, and show up to protests if you can. More than anything, though, survive. It's not just you, it's all crazy on purpose, to try and stress, exhaust, and demoralize you as much as possible. Surviving in the face of that oppression is enough, and anything you can spare past that is a gift.

We predict he will simply ignore the Supreme Court, and neither they nor congress will try to enforce the ruling.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
-Thomas Paine
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"
-US Declaration of Independence
The purpose of the 2nd amendment is to give people the tools to defend their rights. The founding fathers were well aware that liberty is temporary and fleeting and tyrants eternal and that even their country could fall to it.
Most importantly is that if you believe you are living in an oppressive tyranny, you still have the tools to take action. Tyrants are mortal.
There have been numerous people who have tried to overthrow the government via violent methods. I believe you'll be hard pressed to find any where a judge found them not guilty due to having been exorcising their 2nd Amendment Rights.
Also George Washington was a traitor to the crown.
The first amendment was written to call out bad behavior by the government and the second was written to keep the government honest.
Calling this far-right rhetoric is extremely dishonest and the kind of brainwashing the oligarchs use to keep you under their thumb. Imagine being a slave in chains and the key to unlock your manacles is in reach but you're told if you use the key that makes you far-right so you don't do it. Absolute insanity.
