It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

This is why many of us on the academic side said that if troops get deployed in to blue cities, they will be used for anything The federal government wants them to do no matter what and they will never leave once stationed in a blue city, it’s an occupation of what they see as enemy territory.

Question. Did democracy cease to function during the Whiskey Rebellion?The Great Railroad Strike of 1877? The May Day Riots? Let me put this another way, can you identify a single point in U.S. history where Americans exclusively expressed themselves in an orderly fashion along acceptable lines?

Trump is mobilizing 5000 military personnel in LA for at best a few thousand protesters. If a true uprising were to occur with tens of thousands protesters, there's no way they could contain it. They would need 100,000 troops to hold LA alone.

This is 100% the fault of ICE and the Trump admin, which has deliberately incentivized this behavior with their tactics. Their goal is to encourage white nationalist groups to dress up as ICE to attack minorities, and the increase in lookalike crimes is to them an acceptable byproduct.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Doomers really need to dial it down right now and actually pay attention to what is happening. It's not just that they're incompetent, they're fucking up massively. And this is their big moment, if they fuck up the martial law rollout idk that they get another chance

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis. If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

Now is the perfect time to be pressing this point hard. The entire premise of the immigration "debate" is nonsense, and it's debasing and destroying the country for immigrants and citizens alike. Who in national politics has the courage and the skill to say so?

Fifth generation Angeleno here. I am not afraid of undocumented seamstresses reporting to work every day in the garment district. I’m terrified of secret police in tanks rolling down residential streets with machine guns disappearing people without due process. I hope this helps!

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I want to be clear on this: the reason for the unrest in LA is these are LEGAL immigrants who are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to by going to ICE check ins that many have been doing for years, and seeing them getting rounded up including at naturalization preparations.
