Trump floats sending military after US citizens on election day

‘I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics,’ Republican candidate tells Fox’s Maria Bartiromo

...

"And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military," he said.

"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people who have come in, who are destroying our country."

It isn't clear under what circumstances Trump would view it justifiable to call in US troops against his own countrymen.

But his comments mark a baseless attack and a particularly hollow one coming from someone whose supporters violently attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to stop him from being thrown out of office three years ago.

Our two party system has been in a civil war over control of us slaves for decades. .

Spoken like a person who had no idea what slavery is .

It may not be slavery by the purest interpretation of the meaning of the word, but what we have is still essentially "do shitty work you hate or starve and die in the street".

A definition by which most humans that have ever existed have been slaves.
