I guess the National Guard isn't good enough. I thought they were troops. Trump wants to militarize more US cities in response to the growing ICE protests coast to coast. ICE is actually a kind of rogue agency created in the wake of 9/11, an offshoot of DHS. Basically what Trump wants to do is set up a police, a military state with a vast ai surveillance system, an Orwellian database of every single living American courtesy of Palantir Tech. Laura Loomer is down with this. So why do the vast majority of conservatives still support Trump despite these existential threats to freedom and privacy? They're not really that libertarian to begin with. This is not to say they need to be full-blown libertarian but they should be more libertarian than they are. More stuff should bother them but it doesn't. Instead they constantly fall back on blaming the media and the Democrats. So what happens if Trump gives the go-ahead for Marines to shoot rioters in US cities? Will Charlie Kirk cheer?
Dark days ahead. I hope I'm wrong.
Z-Man, you are getting too intellectual, precise and probing. An ideal US citizen. Good on you. I join your friendly ferals in admiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me Trump is at war with his own country. So when do the Marines arrive in Yonkers?
We live about 100 miles south of Spokane, WA. Biggest closest city at 220,000 and peaceful until yesterday. A City councilman was a guardian for a little Latino kid when ICE broke in (no it wasn't the hockey team, but that have one). Pushed the guy aside, grabbed the crying kid and drove off. He spread the word to meet downtown and protest. By afternoon, hundreds of enraged Spokanites had blocked
ReplyDeletea street. 80 police in riot gear joined the melee All afternoon TV with smoke in the air and choking reporters. 80 people were arrested, about 75% of them women. No Marines, but the fickle finger of the Trump dude reaches far down into the throat of America, no?
ICE should be abolished plain and simple. Homan is a thug. Trump should be impeached. That pretty much covers it.
