...nothing more shows the state of freedom and democracy when federal agents and the military are patrolling your capital's streets. Not because they are doing so to protect you from any *crime*, but at the behest of your leadership to sweep it of people they don't like. And in doing so on the public purse. As well as, in doing so to distract you of their own legal short comings and to put that mildly. /bleh

Sadly, Americas are drinking the kool-aid.
They pride themselves on their "freedom" but in reality they are one executive order away from a dictatorship.
As I've always said, it will take America having it's ass handed to it akin to Germany in WW2 if anything is to change.

It isn't just about "people they don't like": it's about an existential fear of being threatened.
But look at it this way: if you're a "fine man" wearing a MAGA cap in a "librul" town, of course people are going to look at you funny and steer clear as surely as if you were a Rosa Parks daring to breach the race divide in the 1950s Deep South.
And even in said Deep South, there's a reason why the KKK wore white hoods. So, refusing to walk outside is the new white hood. And they want DC and other "librul" towns to be the kinds of places where they don't have to don those figurative white hoods anymore...

Nothing says ‘prestigious award’ like giving it to yourself because nobody else would.

Trump says he will host the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony
The move is the latest by the president to revamp the Washington, D.C., cultural institution in his image.

To be clear, I am saying the same thing. Because I condensed my observation here into a short summery doesn't mean all the complex and nuance stuff got left out. Far from that...
...it's the difference between writing a dissertation on what they're doing is wrong versus calling out their BS succinctly. Both are correct.

Not all Americans want this at all ; however, if this crap festers much longer, it will magically appear soon as if all Americans prefer the tyrant. Those elections in Russia and elsewhere are so damn conclusive.
Governor Newsom's office is fighting back with some epic trolling (all caps, "thank you for your attention to this matter", and more)

I wonder if this will help magas see how ridiculous Trump is.
It will probably fly right over their red hats

...so far the only "real crime" from the streets they had to contend with is some dude in a pink polo shirt firing off a footlong sub at a federal officer.

Man, those images remind me of images of drug cartels operating in Mexico.
Every law enforcement agency, like any other organization, will have their dicks, but what we've seen of ICE and others with the shackles off is really quite disturbing. This is very close to martial law.

To the faithful, if Trump says, it must be so.

Administration is only 7 months in. Can't imagine what else he has in store.

I don't think they care, because the cruelty is the point. In fact, they'd love to see all those hipster elites rounded up, shot, and hung from the trees, just like in the lynching picnics of old.
And when it comes to bringing back the good ol' days, maybe they'll propose reviving this
