I don’t like the idea of any man declaring martial law, I’m a believer in “if you set a precedent your enemies can and will use it against you.” But at this point he wouldn’t be the bad guy for doing so. It would be a “Truman drops the bomb on Japan“ situation. Yeah you can argue about the morality but at the end of the day it would be the right thing to do and the ends would MORE than justify the means.
Oh I know they are, that’s why Trump Martial Law would be fine by me. What I mean is that normally I’d be against it because normally if we use something it will be used against us. Another historical example: the civil war when lincoln suspended the first amendment and went after enemy propaganda. Normally that’s fucked but he has a genuine war he needed to win.

If you think they aren’t coming for us anyway...

I agree but look at all of what they have weaponized against us at this point.
DOJ, FBI, NSA,CIA freaking IRS
They declared war against us a long time ago. We are mostly peaceful and has taken sometime to get up to speed
