I've been around a long time and this shit in LA scares the fuck out of me.

The "camel's nose" of totalitarianism is inside the tent.

1. Was just reading a Substack about this moment

4. And the troops need to understand....

They're either with the people, their friends, family and neighbors, or they're with the fascist garbage. No middle ground on this. Not anymore.

6. Maybe

Their friends, family and neighbors may well be MAGA.

8. All of them for every Nat Guard troop? Get real.

[Cirsium]

12. Come on

Nothing I said implied "all of them for every Nat Guard troop."

[paleotn]

13. Good. Since the misconception I keep hearing that the US military is some kind of wind up toy...

born and bred from magat trash is simply wrong.

[Cirsium]

14. I see

I agree.

2. This will be another tRump failure where he finds out

the NG can't actually do what he wants them to.

[paleotn]

3. It needs to be chopped off.

[Iggo]

5. It's the fight they've been itching for since J6.

[paleotn]

9. Give it to them.

7. LA

What you say.............they have riots in LA? Your shitting me. Never heard of such a thing down there before. History, my friends it's what happens down there sometimes in the Summer.

10. It looks like the National Guard has guns with ammo in clips.

{Since I know nothing about guns I can't describe them accurately but they look like automatic rifles.)

So far it looks like they are standing around without anything to do. If I could tell the people of L.A. anything I would tell them, stay home. If you try to find work at hardware stores, stay home. If you can at all possibly afford it and you are an illegal alien, stay home.

Maybe everyone should go on strike until the National Guard is told to go back where they came from because there is nothing for them to do.

11. Trump was going to lose in the courts, but the "protesters" may bail him out.

That's what I'm afraid of. Trump and Stephen Miller are loving the protests.

I haven't seen any pictures that look like clean-cut, peacefully protesting citizens. Quite the contrary. Maybe it's selective coverage by an abysmal media, but what I see so far are spittle-dripping dummies in masks standing around burnt vehicles with Mexican flags in their hands. Smh. Made for Trump TV.

Newsom has a chance to shine here.

15. "camel's nose of totalitarianism is inside the tent."

i.e. the GESTAPO is here. Indeed.

The only surprising thing (for me) being that some seem surprised.
