Internal documents obtained by the Washington Post and reported Tuesday reveal a secret Pentagon plan by the Trump administration to create a standing force of military soldiers that could be rapidly deployed to U.S. cities or communities to quell public protest or anything President Donald Trump deems "domestic civil unrest."
"If people aren't allowed to peacefully protest and the elections are being rigged through gerrymandering and voter suppression, how are Americans supposed to respond when they figure out their lives are being actively destroyed by a corrupt, fascist government?" asked Democratic Wisconsin state Rep. Chris Larson, in response to the revelations.
