The former president said he thinks U.S. troops should be deployed “if necessary” against “radical left lunatics” on election day
Donald Trump has proposed a fascist plan to deploy military forces against U.S. citizens who oppose him on election day.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” the former president told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo when she asked if he expects “chaos on election day” from immigrants. “We have some very bad people, some sick people, radical left lunatics…. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.”
Throughout his campaign, Trump has laid out a dystopian vision for America where the military uses violence to detain and deport immigrants, suppress protests, and target criminals. He has used fascistic, violent language and recently repeated his vow to be a “dictator” for “one day” if elected.

Before you scoff and think to yourself “That would never happen here”, cast your mind back to the long hot summer of unrest in '67. And then consider the reality of Sherman tanks on the streets of Detroit
That tank looks more like an M48 Patton (judging by the turret) than a Sherman, or an M60 Patton (judging by the track shape).
The Sherman is WWII, the M48 is Korean War era, the M60 would be Vietnam, so it would make sense in 1967 that it’s an M48.
