If Trump does get arrested, and if protests are organized, we have to try to anticipate how the Left will respond. Trying to 'think like the enemy' and understand his plans is the first step in defeating him. We have to play Kreigspiel. [
Kriegsspiel - Wikipedia ]
So, if there are protests, how will the (hardcore, serious) Left respond? Of course, the mainstream media can be expected to twist everything, to send their photographers to find the sort of photos they want to run.
So, expect these things, at a minimum:
(1) False Flags: Leftists who turn up, probably masked, carrying swastika signs, or Confederate flags, or anything to discredit us. They should be repelled, with vigor.
(2) Provocateurs. Learn the lessons of 6 January. It would be a Lefty wet dream if violence broke out, which they could pin on us. So they'll try to provoke it, from both the inside and the outside. Be on the alert for the fake 'patriot' who throws a rock at the police, or urges people to rush a police line.
People like the above are the enemy and should be isolated by a team of six or more patriots who surround them and escort them out of the demonstration ... with vigor.
(3) Violent attacks from counter-protestors. These may or may not occur, depending on where you live, but be prepared for them. So you should,
--- (a) Dress for the occasion: gloves,
boots or heavy shoes, w
ork trousers and shirt (ideally, cargo pants with large pockets),
head gear -- not necessarily a helmet, but some sort of cap or hat ... these can be reinforced with canvas or even folded newspaper inside, and glasses or some sort of
face protection (the enemy loves to use bear spray against us).
--- (b) Prepare to deal with injuries: Carry a small First-aid kit: bandages, and above all, burn ointment (AntiFa like to shoot fireworks at people).
At some point, every patriot should go on a serious First-aid course if they haven't already. (These should be organized by us, if possible, with a combat vet showing how to deal with injuries Red Cross courses don't cover, like sucking chest wounds). A litre of water in a rucksack comes in very handy as well for washing wounds.
--- (c) Don't get drawn into arguments with counter-protestors. Don't get isolated. The enemy will try to get you into an angry confrontation. It's pointless. Give them the silent treatment. A cold smile will drive them crazy.
Above all, stay with your own people. This was Kyle Rittenhouse's mistake -- he got isolated, and then the leftist hyenas went for him (since one, at least, of them was a paedophile, his youth may have been an attraction as well).
--- (d) Think about your arrival and departure. Bring your own food and drink, so that you don't have to go to a restaurant before or afterwards, where you can get ambushed. Fill up your gas tank before you go. Don't have an identifying political stickers on your car. Park where you won't be identified as a patriot. These vermin love to damage the cars of patriots.
--- (e) Have a "I'm in trouble" phone number or phone numbers. There should be someone sitting at a telephone whom you can ring if you get arrested or injured, who in turn can mobilize help. (Suppose you get injured and are in a hospital. Who's going to take car of your car? Or feed the cat?) Ideally, you should have the phone number of a sympathetic lawyer, and enough cash on your person to pay for a taxi.
Finally, much of this is
best done by an organized group (in which case, there are several more considerations involving comms, intel, transport and logistics -- things only an organized group with a chain of command structure can carry out). If you're a serious patriot and not yet in an organized local group, you should seriously consider finding, or start, one.
One note: Russian trolls are real. They have a well-financed organization, the "Internet Research Agency" (glavset), which, among other things, tries to stir up violence in the US, using social media. They undoubtedly have 'sleepers' on all the major social media accounts, some of whom may be activated if these protests look like being widespread. They will try to inflame patriots and get them to do something stupid. (And they may be working the other side too.)
A key point:
LEAVE YOUR GUNS AT HOME. We're trying to influence middle America, to make them think, "Well, I don't like Trump, but .. this does seem a bit unfair. The Bidens are probably just as much hands-in-the-piggy bank as Trump ever was. And what about Al Sharpton unpaid taxes?"
The last thing we want is pictures of grinning idiots with their AR15s. Legal, peaceful and orderly. Until we can't be. There may come a time -- unfortunately -- when the "weapon of criticism is replaced by the criticism of weapons," as old Karl Marx said, but we're not there yet. (And if we do arrive there, all the "shoot-all-the-commies" hot-air merchants will be nowhere to be seen.)
We've got to fight smart.
