At this point it's barely even oppression it's theatre. There are next to no protesters and it's simply national guard chuds standing around with long guns feeling tough while you hear birds chirping in the background.

I think it's a bit of testing the waters and laying groundwork. Let the American people know what happens when you protest the government. Your free speech can and will be impinged upon, and it will be justified. They see they really got away with it, and will be a much stronger response next time.

Why do they need to do a test run? They literally tried to overthrow the government not even five years ago and got re-elected after that fact. They already operate as if they are untouchable.

Deploying military to suppress constitutionally protected free speech is a new one, I think. The justification being it is against the government. Which means they plan on justifying anything that is a threat to the government, which also involves elections.

For Trump, This Is a Dress Rehearsal


Ordering the National Guard to deploy in Los Angeles is a warning of what to expect when his hold on power is threatened.

This book made me puke, literally. There’s a video of Posobiec/Lisec and Crenshaw (The Republican rep guy with the eye patch) on YT and it was like watching some dystopian horror movie. A”best selling” book that nobody seems to have read, except the people who don’t need to read it as they already know what these monsters are up to.

No surprise that it is full of projection. Grrr have to stop thinking about it. So twisted.

One can hope. We need other major cities to start following LA example. People don't realize they have the power in numbers.

It's funny how when the fires were raging and California requested help from the feds, Trump politicized it and patronized them over it, and now when they don't need or want it, it's being forced on them.

Calexit 2028 is probably going to gain a lot more tractions after this. When it started, I didn't think it would get much steam, but since January, the movement has been gaining momentum. I could see something like this as trigger point for a lot of people that maybe didn't seriously consider it before. That would get super ugly though.

The militarization of every single last enforcement agency in America is absolutely frightening. ICE went to casual bbq attire to full drop into fallujah kit.

Half the well-regulated militia members are probably the ####ers in masks rounding up immigrants.

Trump has inflamed something that was really a nothing burger to begin with.

Probably all Miller’s idea.

Not surprising at all, but very interesting watching how differently the 3 big networks in Murica are covering this. Protests vs. Riots and Illegal Migrants vs. Immigrants.

Things probably get really bad when the sun sets in about 2 hours...
