    This took less than 3 days.

    Less than 3 days of mild protest in one city and Trump is saying the governor needs to be arrested and is using the military against civilians.

    This wasn’t even classed as a riot.

      This weekend is the totally not celebrating the rapist in chief’s birthday military parade.

      There are… a LOT of concerns that is just an excuse to militarize DC ahead of midterms.

      But yeah. That also means trump wants protests to go away NOW and an excuse to attack California always makes him happy.

        Hasn’t there been national guard, and a literal wall around the white house for the last decade?

          There are military resources available and heightened security around the white house. In a country where children either buy an AR-15 or get shot by one, that only goes so far.

          Contrast that with an actively deployed and on guard… guard. Protests in DC will become next to impossible and “dissenting” congress people will be much less likely to ever try to get a photo op while pretending they care about stopping doge et al.

      That’s because it was nothing on Saturday. Trump sends in the National Guard and they make a lot of smoke. There were 3 or so waymo fires and some cop cars damaged. Protesters were hit by rubber bullets a lot though.

      See for yourself.
