Unfortunately I think it’s the government flirting around a possibility they know is very real because we saw it once -
You lock up Trump and the justice department will come under siege immediately by his voters, and you either let them win and they win, or you use violence against the violence against the government and they win (because self defense is tyranny to them.)
I mean the govt has been known to use the military against civilian protests.
Don’t remember which president it was but he ordered the army* to open fire on civilians protesting on the white house lawn. Also police bombing buildings. It’s funny when fellow Americans act like we don’t live in a country where the govt will actively kill you if you go against their wishes enough.
*I don’t remember if it was the army or the national guard
