I've been seeing this copy/paste a good bit over the last few days.
"On April 20, 2025, the United States may initiate its final steps into authoritarian rule.
That’s the day Donald Trump’s advisory committee is expected to release its findings on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act, a move that would allow him to deploy the military domestically and allow Trump to impose martial law. (San Francisco Chronicle). Given Hegseth and Noem are the main “advisors”, the conclusion is foregone.
And as his two months in office has already shown, he won’t stop at just a legal opinion.
Expect an executive order that same day or the next, officially declaring the Insurrection Act, restricting freedoms in the name of restoring control of the border and in blue-state cities, and setting the larger plan in motion.
Of course, this won’t be framed as an attack on democracy. It will be packaged as a necessary response to crisis, as authoritarian takeovers always are.
But once it happens, there’s no going back. This will be the point of no return. This Is How Democracy Ends. Here’s their Playbook…
It won’t all happen in one night. Instead, the process will unfold in stages, each step making resistance harder. Free elections, a free press, and the right to protest will disappear one piece at a time, until there’s nothing left to save.
My entire goal here is to make people aware, so you can recognize it, and maybe help stop it. It’s all I, personally, can do.
Here’s how it will happen, step by step, after Trump invokes the Insurrection Act with an Executive Order:
1. “Resist!” Demonstrations Grow — Just as planned
Left-leaning and even more centrist people will be alarmed. Peaceful protests will be organized nationwide, as they already have been being organized now, with growing numbers of people joining protests each week.
The calls to “Resist!” will grow louder, and large-scale demonstrations will begin forming in major cities.
This is exactly what Trump wants. He didn’t invoke the Insurrection Act sooner because he needed his opposition to gather first — so he could use them as a tool for his next step.
He also waited 90 days, instead of invoking it on Day 1 as Project 2025 recommended, so he would have his people in place, and remove those who would oppose them in the government, military, courts, and civil positions.
His cabal is waiting for a strong reaction — they want massive unrest. They need a justification to kick off the next steps in their plan.
2. The False Flag Crisis: Turning Protest into “Terror”
The protests will turn violent quickly. Maybe in a day, maybe during the next big protest the following weekend.
They will turn violent not because of the protesters, but because they will have been infiltrated by agents provocateurs, from militia groups like The Proud Boys, whose goal is to escalate as quickly as possible and give Trump and his cabal an excuse to trigger the next stage.
Expect “terrorist” bombings, targeted assassinations, or high-profile acts of violence, either staged or exploited, to justify the crackdown.
There may even be an extremely high profile assassination of a leading right-wing leader that changes everything in a moment… and the “woke radicals” will be blamed, and the country will rally around more extreme measures to bring back order and control.
The media will be flooded with images of chaos, pushing the public into a state of fear. Calls for “order” will follow.
