I pray Trump does not make good on his threat of using military police.  I don't think he will win in November, if he does.

Your entire argument against the President protecting homes, businesses and law abiding citizens against violence is he might not win in November?

You don't know Trump at all.  He has yet to make an important decision based on the political consequences.

Damn!  I thought you were smarter than that.

I want Trump to win.

Deploying military police within the continental US just provides fuel to his enemies, as someone crossing the Rubicon.

Biden is a sure loser and his supporters will use this against Trump.

Trump is a businessman and not an American imperialist, like the career politicians before him or will come after him.  However, this move will surely portray him as one.

Your opinion.

Maybe the majority would rather see a President stand up for law, order and the people not rioting more than they want him to make decisions based on what's best for the next election?

It's been a long held belief that Republicans win more often than not when they focus on the responsibilities of their position -- political consequences be damned.

Democrats like to take polls, and the media uses the polls to tell the masses how they are supposed to react.

You seem to think a President can't do his job as he sees fit AND get reelected, too.  Democrats/media will blast Trump whether he turns left, turns right, or stands still.  Makes no difference. 

Obviously giving the "protesters room to express themselves" didn't turn out too well under Obama and certain Democrat mayors and governors.

Politics still has a lot to do with perception.

Right now, Covid-19 and the coming economic depression will be used viciously against Trump to great effect.  Democrat voters are still in disarray because of the senility of Biden and Trump must not do anything to give Democrats a united front of voters.

Throwing in the military police into the inferno will be viewed very negatively by not only those who detest Trump, but by his own "blue collar prepper base" that loathes any movement by the military onto US soil; thereby, potentially robbing him of some of his most die-hard constituency.

Historically, when facing a major crisis, voters are less likely to "switch horses in mid stream".  It's one of the reasons Obama won reelection.

Trump didn't cause the crisis we're in, and he proved almost 4 years ago he can rev the economy beyond anyone's expectations. 

Biden has a track record of being wrong on every issue.

Outside of world war, the US has never been in such a divided state between the races, the social classes, rich and poor, citizens and illegal immigrants, not to mention facing a global pandemic and economic crises getting similar to the extent of the Great Depression a 100 years ago, all at the same time.

Nothing should not be taken for granted, as there is no precedents to draw upon and things are very fluid right now.

There is NO empirical evidence to back up that statement.

That's based on your feelings and beliefs. I contend it's never been a better time to be a minority in the US -- be it race, gender, social class, economic class, or otherwise.

Perfect?  Nope.  But name a better time than right now and explain how the division today is worse.

Then toss in how the media makes billions on the divisive BS they spew daily.

Politicians learned a long time ago that if they can keep the public divided, they can work the sides against each other and gain power themselves.

Are you on planet Earth or been living on Mars all this time?

Childish and unresponsive comment.  Nothing substantive to refute my statement?


Easy for you to say, if you are not part of the minority.
I'm simply saying what MANY in the minority have said.  Do some research.
BTW, as a White guy in Hawaii, I am in the minority.


 

Myself and posters like Hvybarrels have numerous times cited evidence like wealth distribution disparity and, myself, the socio-economic plight of Hawaiians for years and you have the selective ignorance to make such a statement claiming the absence of proof to the contrary.
Hawaiians are oppressed by their own state, not the federal gov't.  Hawaii receives more money in federal aid than HI tax payers send to DC.  The federal dollars for military bases, highways, public works (including rail) and education create jobs, support thousands of families, and decrease the "socio-economic plight" the greedy locals in Hawaii gov't cause.

Talk about ignorant.   

I also notice you failed to answer the question I asked.  I don't ever want to see you try to call anyone else out for that!   

You failed to name a better time in the US to be a minority.



I agree.
Thank God for small miracles!   




 Politicians' tactical use of divide and conquer is to make sure Americans do not unite to restore the republic, but maintain the current American empire.
You really can't alter your rhetorical BS to avoid falling into the same rabbit hole again and again, huh?  Not every person in the country has some sinister goal of keeping the country as some mythical empire.  Their motives are more personal than that.  The thing about Capitalism is it acknowledges (and leverages) the human instinct to do that which is in their best interest.  Take a poor person off the street or a billionaire in her mansion eating expensive ice cream.  Given two choices, one that produces benefits for themselves and one that diminishes their resources to help someone else, for the most part we know which they will choose.  The trick is in understanding that their ability to support themselves and their families relieves society of that burden, and it may grow into a source of jobs for others.

Easy for you to say, if you are not part of the minority.

What if I said you couldn’t understand something because your not part of the whites?

This evening news showed a lot of protesters around the White House.  I hope they have enough sense not to try and storm the gate or hop the fence.
I am pretty sure the Secret Service will shoot any who did so with real live ammo and not rubber bullets.

Military on the streets of America for whatever reason.



This marks the final end of the American republic.  RIP.

The American Republic died at the passage of the 16th and 17th
Amendments in 1913.
What we have now is an Oligarchy.
Recent events prove that.

There are already curfews and "temporary restrictions" on civil liberties.

What do you think is next?

Martial Law?  Gun Confiscation?

Military on the streets of America for whatever reason.



This marks the final end of the American republic.  RIP.
