It's NOT the duty of the Commander-in-Chief to ensure that laws are enforced. He is not allowed to use THAT role for THAT purpose.
We must understand the Constitution in order to defend it.
It is the duty of our military to refuse that command. It is unconstitutional and un-American.

Just before the previous clip, the skater kid was practically taunting the Border Patrol agents by dancing around their munitions shots.

The only thing we can give him credit for is the blood of 300,000 people and counting...

The regime is looking for an excuse to crackdown with violence.
If they're provoked into violence by riot and lawlessness, they win.
If the resistance can muster the numbers in peaceful protest, and the power uses violence, the apathetic and complacent will see and react, and the regime falls.

I recently remembered this scene, where the hero finally stands up to the villain, saying "Ants don't serve grasshoppers — it's you who need us! We're a lot stronger than you say we are... and you know it, don't you?"
That's when we see the power of solidarity.

That last one is vital. Nothing is achieved until someone is willing to make a sacrifice in the name of Good Trouble

It's absolutely necessary. I can tell my kids 1000 times not to play in other people's yards, but it'll never have the impact of a single stranger yelling "Get off my lawn!"
If they never face correction from the community growing up, adulthood comes as a total shock.

"And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against... false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts."
-Malachi 3:5

YES! I've tried to teach my kids about a form of governance where opposing sides could have good-faith debate, and how that used to be the ideal we aspired to, but I'm not sure they can understand. It feels like they're just nodding along, smiling at Dad's increasingly delusional fantasy world.
