@spaf "can stage"? How cute.
To be clear, not enough are willing. Some of us have been watching and speaking up but are dismissed.
@spaf it's strange to assume they are going to hide their plan.
They are currently taking over the country in plain daylight. They are not hiding.
@Hedgewizard @spaf when you want to impeach judges that do not rule your way, when you armstrong states that do not follow your politics, when you say that you want to fire anyone that does not agree with you, you are basically transforming a democracy in an authoritarian state. So this is happening right now, right in front of our eyes and they are not denying it
@spaf Surely the butthurt emails crowd is going to have issues with this, right?
Signal is likely being used by billionaires to issue directives to elected officials too.

@Npars01 @spaf The informal comms no doubt exist all through the whole Federal government. If all your workplace communications were logged and potentially available to your enemies, wouldn't you have a back channel of some sort?
Something similar exists on Wall Street for the same reason. Remember the scandal where traders were colluding to nudge the LIBOR interest rate up or down?
The good news here is that people with access to NSA intelligence trust Signal!
@spaf remind me why you let them live again?
@falcennial That questions assumes powers and intents I may not have.
@spaf you don't intend to stop these fascists interring innocent people in the camps?
fucking hell.
@spaf "They can stage" or "they are staging"?
@spaf That's how Nazis rule.
@spaf The courts will have to ask China if they can borrow their copy.
@spaf see UK COVID inquiry and 'the dog ate my WhatsApps history'
@spaf@mstdn.social damn i'm so happy for them i hope they get everything they voted for
@spaf that is quite dumb though, if they will do coup, no one's gonna look for evidence in official channels. That is not how these things work.
@spaf to be fair, the French government has been doing the same
