6. A Dangerous Precedent Compounded By Modern War Machines

As you noted the bloodshed of the past labor struggles of the 1920's involved private armies and use of the US military deployed against strikers. It is not hard to imagine history repeating itself but with body counts in the thousands as more deadly modern weapons may be deployed against the protesters of the Trump regime. Even if civilian resistance armies were formed to fight back using small arms like handguns and rifles, they would be massacred by a few helicopters with machine guns and rocket launchers. And private army/mercenary snipers would be well-paid for the assassinations of pre-selected resistance leaders from afar. Too hyperbolic? What did Trump say about wanting to shoot protesters? But there is now no one like General Milley to dissuade him. And Pete Hegseth will do such a thing without question.
