    That is exactly it, he is visualizing all the protestors lined up along the route.

      There’s a good chance that there will be more protesters than supporters. That would be beautiful.

      It’s a scenario that could lead to absolute disaster(for them, it would be great for us)

      National Guard, Protesters, Police, with the chance that the NG lays their arms down or side with the protesters?

      They’re shitting themselves nervous over it.

        I’d be very surprised if anyone in uniform lays down arms and sides with protestors in this country.

          There’s a glimmer of hope that they would.

            I’ve been reading stories about people growing disillusioned with Trump for almost a decade now and yet nothing ever changes.

              There was a bit of a change on November 2020.

                Not amongst his supporters. More people voted for him in 2020 than 2016.

                  Those who voted for Trump were fewer than those who voted for Biden.

                    I agree, but it’s irrelevant to what I’m posting about. I understand that the military isn’t a monolith and there are some anti-Trump people there, but those who wear basically any uniform (national guard, military, police, ice, etc.) are largely Trump supporters and, despite some whining, I have yet to see any indicator that they’ll break with Trump.

                    I’ve been reading about cracks amongst his support for ten years and no major obstacles ever actually materialize.
