"Democrats should focus on kitchen table issues, not cultural issues"

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.

the whole point of the military parade & all of these threats is to intimidate people out of peacefully protesting, which is not going to work

Lots of people seem to think this is bad for red states too but I’m not so sure. Trump says he wants to personally make the disaster relief decisions. He’ll help his cronies and punish those who won’t kiss his ass. That’s life under mob-style governance.

The centrist, moderate, safe, poll-tested position here for elected officials and pundits is to blast the Trump admin using every argument they can. Anyone who isn't doing that should be asked why they're trying normalize the deployments and enable Trump's fascism.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th. Yet he called them in to LA without a request from officials in California. He pardoned people who smeared bodily fluids on our Capitol and beat cops, calling them “patriots.” His hypocrisy is nauseating.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon. Win-win.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

A few words about “peaceful protests.” 1. At least 5% of people are uncontrollable assholes and will behave badly in any situation, let alone a high-tension one. So a large protest without ANYONE throwing shit, yelling slurs or for violence, etc. is likely not achievable. /1

Progressive activists no longer have a considerable amount of influence on Twitter because the site has been reengineered to promote paying users and people who agree with Elon Musk. This has been reported on extensively and is obvious to users left of center.

The guard in LA could be the start of a fascist power grab, yes. It could also be a massive overplaying of a bad hand by a president who had the worst week of his term, and an immigration czar who was publicly humiliated and is desperate to goose his numbers. We don't know yet.
