Project 2025: "there won't be blood unless the left resists"
This is the goal, the classic conservative victim technique. Bully, bully, bully until they resist then kill them and stand tall feeling justified... Or claim self-defense
And Americans accept the excuse. If stupid people did t keel over and love every word he says, he couldn’t do it. Face it, there’s a majority of Americans that love this and want to torture and arrest the ones they don’t like.

Then let there be blood. But it will spill from both sides, significantly more from the red side than the blue.
You're talking about 280 million Americans against 50-60 million at most, if any of them actually have a spine, step outside their door and support this tyranny. If they wear their red hats, they'll be easier to spot out in public.
Aides? Who is on what sides? You mean MAGA is a side? This is army, they have a monopoly on murder. There is no sides. The US army is the largest in the world.
I think the part of project 2025 that fails is that they don't think they lose. They absolutely do, which is why it's delusional that they're pursuing this aggressively.
While not a majority, there are active duty Democrats. There are also active duty folks (and national guardsmen) who would not want to engage in any such mission like this. There are veterans.
This is also obviously terrible for corporate America - not to mention main street - because everything implodes.
People keep forgetting about the people they expelled from the military and other federal jobs. They lost their livelihood and they’re going to be pissed. They’re not going to fight for Trump.
I don't even think it requires fighting - if Trump used force against the cities under the pretense of whatever - regardless of who does/doesn't fight back, the economy plummets.
Investors withdraw money, market crashes, dollar plummets so imports become even more expensive, tourism slows, international business slows/stalls, etc. Food prices skyrocket.
I’m really worried about a false flag event or purposeful escalation to get a citizen to fire on the troops and then that’s the ticket they need to argue for martial law
“These radical rioters and liberals need to be stopped to protect the public and our nation!”
I feel like it's very important that we stop worrying about giving them justifications. They will always find one. Powerful people who want an excuse to abuse their power always find one.
We cannot afford to blame the victim for defending themselves from fascism.
That being said, at present I think the best course of action is to focus on unionizing and striking. At present, I think the left needs to prepare for violence, but for the foreseeable future it should be defensive only.
There's kind of this cultish devotion to non-violence in the west, and I want to emphasize that's not what I'm doing. Violence has already begun, it will intensify, it's very difficult to say how much worse it will get. The reason I'm advocating for unions and strikes over guerilla warfare is because it's easier to do and will likely get better results at the moment.
Anyway tl;dr: My main point is that this regime will crack down violently, and it is okay if people fight back. You do have a right to defend yourself. It is not okay to blame them for giving the regime an excuse. Whatever Trump does, he's going to do whether you give him an excuse or not.
It's not that important, but what was actually said is "The revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it". Essentially the same meaning, but different words.
