From what I've gathered, military intelligence and Trump were completely aware of and prepared for the Dominion voting machine's ability to influence this election. Just because they allowed it to happen doesn't mean they weren't prepared. It's better to catch a criminal in the act of committing a crime than it is to attempt to convince people the crime was going to be committed.
IMO, feelings can be informed by the amount of information we have on a curtain subject. With that being said, I am aware of how limited my knowledge is on the entirety of what's taking place in our government and the world stage. Although from that I've seen so far, it's obvious to me Trump is not deep state and has Americans best interests at heart.
Yes, I tend to feel that way about Trump as well. However, I did see close up -- and I'm talking about following very closely his tweets, and how he was responding to things unfolding, blow by blow -- that he did not seem to anticipate, or even know about Dominion software. You can look at my posts, and maybe find where this came up before. So, I'm not talking about articles written about this, or what people are saying, I'm talking about closely observing Trump.
Of course, I want to just "go with the flow" on this myself. Let him use the Insurrection Act, or Marshal Law. That's exactly how I "feel." So, I'm questioning putting my feelings ahead of needing more information. And, yes, time is of the essence too. Everything is unfolding rather quickly. I realize that.
But if the Deep State wants to strip us of our civil rights, as is Fitt's concern on this insurrectionist course of action, there's that to consider too. She seems to imply that Trump would not be able to prevent the Deep State from using such a move to their complete advantage.
Is this true?
We need more information.
As others have pointed to as well, Trump's legal team doesn't instill the best confidence given the enormity of the task. Not that they aren't acting in earnest. But it's another example of Trump seeming to lack the necessary resources. And does that uncomfortable fact automatically change with the implementation of the Insurrection Act? I don't have the answer. But it's worth asking the question I think.
The Republican Party is in flux right now given this movement that Trump ignited. Is it better to keep going with that, and think in terms of the next election in two years, while working with our state legislatures to make real legislative changes, and hold those in power accountable?
This would take more work, and a focus first on short-term strategy, and possibly Trump in 2024. But, even as I write these words, I'm feeling people are up for a more militarized solution instead, without maybe really thinking it through. It's what's in the air.
Of course, the best immediate solution would be for Trump to somehow, against all odds, succeed in these last legal efforts to overturn the election. It is Trump, after all. We have to at least keep the door open for the impossible to maybe happen (!)
