Is this Trump's Reichstag moment?

[Flo Mingo]

I mean, I can't even believe it's no longer crazy conspiracy talk to think so.

We know there is an extreme violent element in America. Trump has been encouraging them and firing them up for more than two years now with his non-stop violent rhetoric. What worries me more is this is the beginning of creating anarchy in America. Will we now see the extreme element and private militias sow chaos so Trump can declare a police state and suspend elections.

This also follows the events in 1930's Berlin.

Are we there or is this just one more giant leap forward?

1. I'm worried that's the case.

Seriously hope I’m wrong.

[SummerSnow]

2. I believe it can happen. The events in 1930 started just like it is now. You are 100% correct

3. This is trumps America

4. Or..just to get Kerchoogi off the air.

I don't think we should overthink this.

5. Its only the beginning possibly

I fear what the Trump MAGA nationalists are planning for right before the elections.

6. You got it backwards...

If it was a Reichstag moment Trump supporters and Govt. buildings would have been targeted. Now, if Trump comes out and says it was a Democratic plot to cause fear and sway the election then you would be correct.

10. Agreed and thanks

I meant to convey that in my original OP. We'll see if they claim it's a Dem. false flag.

That's a convenient way to claim any future violence targeting Dems will be suspect.

7. I mean wouldn't that would involve

an attack on Republicans and Trump and the administration, not the ostensible critics of same?

[Oneironaut]

8. Not really. The Reichstag fire was a false flag.

This, on the other hand, seems to be right wing terrorism, with no attempt to disguise what it was.

9. Could be, put nothing past Red Don ... he's a bastard

[GulfCoast66]

11. Oh please

Explain to me how you declare a police state? Well, not declare, which is just a statement. But make it happen.

That would require, I don’t know, a police force to do his bidding. None of those here in Florida.
