Somehow forgotten about the literal armed fascist militias? Memory holed those I guess. Even if at large the citizens are not currently militarised they can be at any point mobilised into mass violence and have the weaponry to do so.

Elimination of our government bodies

Don't need to eliminate what doesn't work in the first place. There's no communist opposition the government bodies were built from the ground up to serve fascists so they don't need elimination

Trump isn't facist... America is fascist

Militarised citizenry

Isn't that just the police now. I think they're classified as civil servants too, not professional soldiers.

And how many local shithead militias have close ties to local PDs all across the country? Remember Patriot Prayer setting up a fuckin sniper nest in a parking garage in 2020?

Oath Keepers were running over the rooftops and streets when Ferguson was going down.

Got military grade IED resistance vehicles in some towns, training from IDF, budget larger than most militaries in the world. Hell there is a history of law enforcement and military training of those in latin America which I imagine is a guinea pig for the US testing things out
