Rough Weekend, Civil War: Trump Goes Mad King
Where are the adults? Where are the generals?
Donald Trump had a rough weekend. His army tank birthday party sucked. The No Kings protests were massive, peaceful and righteous. There are wars popping off all over the world that Trump doesn’t understand. His approval rating is tanking. And Democratic politicians were murdered by Trump’s own supporter.
So what’s Trump’s solution to this spiral? Go full Mad King.
Last night, Trump posted this open declaration of war, almost certainly written by Stephen Miller, against Democratic cities. Trump declared that ICE officers are “herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH” to “expand efforts” in “the Democrat Power Center” of “America’s largest Cities” including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City.
“You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!”
This is Trump’s most egregious Hitlerian proclamation so far, a naked pseudo-ideological attack on the Constitution and the people he swore an Oath to protect. This is not coded language. There is no wiggle room. Trump is trying to destroy Democratic cities and occupy them with the military because he knows he can’t win any more elections.
It Is Time To Face Facts
It’s about time any remaining adults out there face facts. This is the beginning of a well-planned military hybrid warfare operation against American civilians. The goal is a physical occupation of the United States by Armed Forces.
Trump’s “TRUTH” is, in both style and substance, a recapitulation of a strategy laid out by “Putin’s Brain” Aleksandr Dugin over three years ago in his book “The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reset.”
“Dugin calls upon the inhabitants of the Heartland to relentlessly attack, on all theoretical and practical fronts, the global elites of the coastlands, who try to impose their perverse, anti-human ideals by ruthlessly eradicating the long-standing cultures and traditions of all peoples in the world.”
At the time of its writing in 2022, Dugin’s book was a call to violent civil war between the “Heartland” and “coastal elites”—while Joe Biden was president. Simultaneous to its publishing, Mike Flynn set out on a 25-stop multi-year QAnon-Christian Nationalist psyops tour, named verbatim after Dugin’s book, which pushed many of these themes. One of the chapters was called “The US Civil War: the choice of our camp.”
Now Donald Trump, Stephen Miller and the sycophants in the Cabinet and military chain-of-command are effectively carrying out Dugin’s doctrine using the full power of the federal government and US Armed Forces. They are deliberately inflicting mass suffering, putting law enforcement at risk, and abusing the military to do exactly what Washington’s Army was created to prevent—all because Trump had a bad few days and has no other options to control the narrative.
The President of the United States has declared that he wants the government to wage a violent, full-scale assault on cities and states that oppose him politically. What is that if not civil war?
I appeal once again to everyone with a platform, influence or resources to stop sitting on the sidelines while this happens. Stop hiding behind your privilege. Start saying the quiet parts. Starting using your resources. The United States is a failed state with a Mad King. We had a chance to win the civil war for four years and we blew it. Stand up now or kneel forever.
The good news is that none of Trump’s stunts are working. Anyone who participated in or watched the No Kings protests could see and feel that the majority of Americans are angry, righteous and far from ready to capitulate. And anyone who watched Trump’s birthday “PERADE” with an iota of objectivity could see it was both pathetic and deeply dangerous.
While violence is never a solution, what are the majority supposed to do when a tyrannical government openly wages violence on us?
Military leadership must stand up for the Constitution right now because once the shooting starts in major cities, it will be a bloodbath. The Mad King will order a crackdown and suspend habeas corpus so he can start rounding up his political opponents. He will ignore Posse Comitatus and order military raids on civilians. He will cancel elections.
250 years ago, George Washington created the Revolutionary Army to defeat a tyrannical king. Now that Army has been turned against We The People by a tyrannical king.
Once again, we do not need campaign managers or political strategists in this moment, we need generals who understand the war we have been forced to fight, a psychological war on reality, which is now going kinetic.
Where are the adults? Where are the generals?

"By notice of this TRUTH"... I guess tRump is now the sole judge of what constitutes truth now. Very disturbing! I am proud to be 'not a real American' since I oppose this attempt at a fascist takeover.
Jim, Thanks for the excellent post and narrative!
Centre County, PA and the Borough of State College were listed as sanctuary areas and then that web page got taken down.
