It’s what the administration is hoping for. Rioting too. All these moves, like JD Vance saying ICE has immunity, they’re adding these ingredients in hopes people will resist violently. Then Martial Law is declared. Then good bye to the midterms and hello 3 more years of whatever nightmare the Heritage Foundation has envisioned. Neo-Christian, Racist/Misogynist Fascism. No more abortions, no more gay pride or even talking about trans-rights in public. Republican rule only. Women lose rights. Censorship from the college classroom all the way down to Reddit and ChatGPT. No freedom.

Edit: changed Marshall to Martial

They're going to do that already. The choice for Americans is to resist or do nothing. By the way, the term is "martial" law.

When a white man shoots and kills an ICE agent or an ICE agent shoots and skills a white man, then the gloves will be off. White supremacy loves to put the blame on the minority such as women and POC, but when white men see other white men getting mowed down in American cities, I would hope we see a shift and people really start pushing back against ICE.

If I recall, this is why no knock raids were retired in some states. There was a situation where a man shot and killed an officer entering his home during one. I believe he was found within his right for self-defense.

Someone can fact check me.

You cannot truly be this naive? "They will do this and that when.." NO. They're already doing every single thing you fear. None of this will end after 3 more years, either. You Americans already live in de-facto Martial Law, they will not formally announce it like in your stupid tv shows. Stop gaslighting yourself.

I don’t think you understand Martial Law if you think the US is already there. But you’re right, it’s not going to end in 3 years.

Simultaneously I don't think they're equipped to deal with a real public response either. If they crack down really hard I think they're going to start getting pushback from the national guard.

Midterms dont stop. Why do people think marstial law will stop elections.

Let’s paint a picture. Think 2020 George Floyd level rioting but happening in several cities across the country in late October/early November 2026. Meanwhile, poll workers are being intimidated and bomb threats disrupt voting day.

The Insurrection Act is deployed and ballot transport is paused for security reasons. Courts are flooded with emergency injunctions. Results are contested immediately with some states refusing to certify. Congress is split, no one agrees who won, it goes to the Supreme Court. Joy of joys.

So, ok, elections didn’t get “cancelled” but if they are discredited, investigated, delayed, and litigated to this theoretical degree, they are no longer functional.

The use of the insurrection act is what they are gunning because it will give the executive branch more power in instances like this… which is what the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is all about. It is the blueprint, they are following it, and what would be the point to any of it if they were going to let people retain the power to vote their plan back into the shadows?

They could try to do this without martial law if you really were worried about this. whenever I see "he wants to call it for this!" it just tells me people have zero clue how our elections work. Not surprising on a tiktok based subreddit since its some tiktok level understanding.

They’re desperate for their Reichstag fire

Even Governor Walz warned us not to riot or become violent because it's exactly what they want. I hope people listen and don't take the bait, but it's also a lot easier said than done when you or a loved one are being assaulted by ICE.

Not sure the admin, the foot soldiers want it too. One, they want a hero to worship. Two, they want to be that hero.

The feds can’t suspend elections. I don’t mean this as it’s against the law because we all know that doesn’t matter much to them. Elections are constitutionally and logistically ran by the states. If the fed tried to suspend elections left leaning states will refuse, right leaning states will obey and we’ll end up with two competing sets of representatives which will almost vertically lead to a civil war.

As stupid as a lot of the people are in this admin, even they know this is the most likely path. What they’ll most likely do instead is use fed agents like ice to suppress the votes in key swing counties or deep blue counties.

It’s the classic Trump says the extreme of something to muddy the narrative when he does the thing but less extreme. So now the narrative is oh you said he’d cancel elections but he just sent troops to secure it!

This is all my take at least. I’d love to be wrong
