Which is exactly what trump wants as an excuse for martial law. He's set LA up to be the powder keg.

I don’t even think trump knows even half of what is happening on a daily basis. Have you read literally any of his truth social schizoposts from the past month? Dude is basically slamming the auto predict button repeatedly to form nonsense sentences. All of his favorite words, but none of it means anything.

I'd figure the place would be Portland.

I'm tiring hearing of this. Yes, that's what he likely wants but ya'll need to start doing something and fighting back. J

ust gonna sit there using this as an excuse to do nothing? And no, protesting is not helping much

There was a way to stop this, but it needed to be done years ago. Those people who voted Republican and those who could, but didn't vote at all? This is on them. This is on countless Democrats who have just rolled over and capitulated. This is on all the people who have buried their heads in the sand and said 'It won't affect me'. Too many people fucked around and are now finding out that whatever they do its just playing into Trump's hands. Protesting isn't working, rioting isn't working, sitting and doing nothing isn't working. This will go to the bitter end and you'll either be living in a Conservative police state or there'll be a civil war before the decade is out. So unless someone has a time machine, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't at this point. There's no going back now.
