Trump is preparing a nationwide military crackdown. Only the WSWS tells the truth.

Trump's flagrantly unconstitutional and illegal order is a further step in the establishment of authoritarian rule in the US.

Dear reader, Yesterday morning, Trump signed an executive order instructing the Pentagon to prepare for nationwide military operations by National Guard troops modeled on the military-police occupation of Washington D.C., now two weeks old. The flagrantly unconstitutional and illegal order is a further step in the establishment of authoritarian rule in the United States.  Trump has repeatedly threatened to extend the current military occupation of Washington D.C.—where over 2,000 National Guard troops are deployed, carrying weapons of war—to other major US cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. Trump is relying on the complicity of both the Democratic Party and the corporate media to conceal from the American people the reality of what is happening: a systematic conspiracy to establish a presidential dictatorship, unfolding in real time. In this crisis, the WSWS is absolutely indispensable. We are the only publication not only warning that a dictatorship is being established step by step, but also building a socialist movement in the working class to fight and stop it. But we need your support to vastly expand our work. Please make as large a donation as you can today.   Donate now The Democratic Party, terrified of opposition from below, is seeking to chloroform the population about the real state of American democracy. The Democrats fear that exposing the true character of Trump's coup and the social conditions that underlie it would encourage mass opposition that they cannot control. There is no resolution to the unprecedented crisis confronting the working class in the United States and internationally except through mass social struggle, the aim of which must be the conquest of political power and the socialist reorganization of economic life. The fight against dictatorship must be carried out as a fight against capitalism and for socialism, led by the working class. We rely entirely on readers, not corporations or advertisers.
