So like, what exactly is stopping trump from just, bombing a few red cities, blaming it on antifa, and declaring martial law before the election?

Bombing blue cities would be a better move

I guess I am assuming he wants to actually make it look like a real attack as much as possible. Probably he doesn't give a fuck how sloppy it looks, now you mention it. He'd really just need the manufactured pretext.

Shh! He doesn't need more ideas

there's a 0 percent chance he hasn't already thought of this.

declaring martial law before the election

This is really the only necessary step, no one will stop him, his "yes men"* are far to embedded at this point. All that other false flag stuff is unnecessary.

Hopefully some sane people in the military

He's spent the first year of his term systematically lobotomizing military high command. The only people left are cowards and sycophants.

edit: whoever has disagreement downvoted me, please correct me. i'd love to believe something else, honestly.

Nothing. Italy did it and got away with it until a prime minister revealed the truth years later.
