Its 9 words. Not a comparison to the whole plot of star wars. You people applauding and begging for martial law and the suspension of the constitution are the dangerous ones. All because your feelz are hurt from an election. Guess what? In 4 years there will be another one. Regardless of your sky screaming.

You have me confused with a liberal. Dont even need to read the rest of your post. I voted for Trump. I'm just not calling for martial law.

You seem very confused. Just because I dont want martial law does not mean I'm a leftist or side with anyone. Martial law is not the answer. Maybe you think you're debating someone else here?
Have fun debating arguments I've never made.

Its amazing the amount of leftist crap you're trying to equate with not wanting martial law. Maybe take a break from the internet. Get some fresh air.
Peace.

How about just a little bit of proof before we go full dictatorship/military takeover?

Why are you replying to a post you already replied to almost 3 weeks ago?
You still stuck on this "limited" martial law thing? Must be like being a little bit pregnant.

If this political coup were made into a movie, how do you think the ending of that movie would turn out? My movie would begin to build to it's climactic ending on December 14, 2020. The states vote and deliver their tallies to their state and the state delivers them to 6 federal recipients. If Biden gets 270 or more electoral votes, Donald J. Trump invokes Executive order,
"Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election".
This is when Trump mobilizes the US Army to action.
On January 6,2021, With all of congress combined into one great assembly to count votes and declare a winner, suddenly, US Army vehicles pull up to the steps of the Capitol where a company of Army Rangers storm out, go directly down to the lower chamber where all of our government is congregated and takes control of every exit.
"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America"...
