Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.
it got both the gop and old GUARD dems(gop-lite) scared. remember HOCHUL said she wont support him, until she was facing re-election, or gillibrand who went on a racist tirade.
Giving them the excuse they crave to put NYC into a full on police state
I don't think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.
isnt it sort of a police city, since NYPD is the largest police force in the us.
This is the kind of thing that would lose them support of a lot of the police. It would still be a right wing military based in the city, but right wing ≠ maga
I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.
I would fight for New York and I live in California. The fascists are failing.
They surround NYC and then get surrounded themselves by an oos army of Humans.
Yeah, I'm not saying it will go well. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't try. Trump is most notably a stubborn and stupid person
His handlers aren't quite as stupid.
arnt stupid people usually stubborn in general. just like how stubborn animal/pets usually are kind of lacking brain cells.
Fascists don't need an excuse to do what they want to do. They're toddlers. It's like saying a cat needs an excuse to push a fragile memento off a shelf.
Wrong. They will do whatever they want, sure. But they will use any justification no matter how flimsy. This is less flimsy. And you're reacting as if I'm saying what new Yorkers should do but I'm not. I'm simply accurately predicting what we all know trump would do in response.
That is not a fight they would win. Admittedly, its a fight everyone would lose. But it would be the end of this coup, and possibly the end of the "United" states.
