It’s also about scaring the liberals into compliance.
- ModernMech 1y agoLet's not be naive -- scaring people into compliance is what they do to conservatives via Fox News. With liberals, deploying the military to their cities is about instigating actual violence, so they can imprison and kill them.
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoAh. They actually want a violent confrontation. That would explain some things.
- actionfromafar 1y agoYes. Even Putin needed a pretext (in his case false flag operations) in the beginning of his reign. But any kind commotion, large enough, will do in a pinch. The dictator playbook is different in a newly minted dictatorship and a mature one. Rules become progressively less important the longer it goes on.
- ModernMech 1y agoYes, if you look back at Trump's reaction to J6, you can tell he reveled in the violence that day. Pausing and rewinding Fox News to watch the crowds while not picking up the phone or tweeting to quell it; when he did tweet it served to instigate bloodlust for Mike Pence; and when he was confronted by Kevin McCarthy, who begged Trump to call off the mob, Trump said "Well, Kevin, I guess they are just more upset about the election theft than you are". So yeah, it's all about creating a violent confrontation to assuage a galactic, battered ego.
- tdeck 1y agoAlso, he pardoned all those people.
- ModernMech 1y agoAnd then he hired them as ICE agents.
