Yes he did:

“We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics… And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or really necessary by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he said.

None of this takes into account time reading others’ posts/comments, or alts this user may secretly have.

lemmy.ml banned this user yesterday for being a troll. Isn’t it about time that lemmy.world did also? For Christ’s sake, there is an election going on, and it’s been beyond clear for two months that this user intends to sway it, and fully opposite anything resembling a leftist goal.

Poster is straight up defending Trump now. Mask off, I guess. No more pretending to post Jill Stein because he “found it interesting.”

“We need to use the military on the enemy within if necessary”

“Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi are examples of enemies from within”

Seems pretty clear.

He wants to use the military against “left leaning lunatics”. Well if he refers to everyone on the left as a lunatic, then that’s everyone who disagrees with him. He sometimes defines the “lunatics” as the communist and Marxist in the party. But we already had McCarthyism once, what about second McCarthyism? Is anyone who votes left just a secret communist in disguise?

Posting more pro Trump garbage. Tell us again how you didn’t vote for Trump.

I’m so tired of the media sanewashing this violent, demented lunatic.

I’ve usually been pretty open minded about your posts, giving the benefit of the doubt that it’s all just for perspective and not your own political astroturfing, but this one is straight up, grade-A bullshit. He literally did say that. There are video clips of him saying it because he fucking said it during a public event that was being filmed.

For fuck’s sake.

Bartiromo asked Trump whether he was “expecting chaos on Election Day” if “you win.” “Trump suggests he’ll use the military on ‘the enemy from within’ the U.S. if he’s reelected,” said the PBS headline over an Associated Press story. That one does not even superficially make sense, since Trump would not yet be president in Bartiromo’s scenario.

So this guy says “I’m going to order the military to attack American citizens if I’m reelected” and Reason is out here saying that headlines expressing concern about using the military for political revenge are fake news because this interviewer asked what he’d do on Election Day? He literally said that he would send the military after “the enemy within” in response to her question. Reason out here lying about the context of his answer because the senile old fascist can’t wait until inauguration to get his hands on the military. Probably would be good for the MBFC to re-evaluate Reason’s factuality rating.

The fake crises he invents all sound like cheesy horror movies:

“convicted illegal alien murderers on the loose”

“cannibal zombie vampires from outer space”

But the DoD under Biden did revise 5240.01 on September 27 2024 which would allow police and the National Guard to request US military assistance on US soil against protest, up to lethal force.

So if Trump were to act on the claims liberals make, Biden and Co have set the groundwork up to enable him to do it. The same way they built cages for kids that trump used.
