They certainly are now. Most of them aren’t, but I said that this is going to continue escalating because that’s what your dear leader wants. And the moment more national guard and/or military show up, the worse this will get. Because, your dear leader doesn’t want deescalation. He wants chaos to continue to “prove” that immigration is dangerous.
I rate this comment as "not entirely stupid."
Listen, I think under normal circumstances what we have seen on video is enough to call in the National Guard. On the other hand, that usually goes hand in hand with the cooperation of the local government.
If Newsome wants his crown city to burn, let it.
They should just tell all the conservatives in California to relocate the swing states. Hopefully California would do something awesome like secede.
That being said I do not doubt there is a part of Trump that wants the show (even though he hardly needs chaos to "prove" that illegal immigration is dangerous, because it unquestionably is) (the ironic part is that this is more showing that liberal idiocy is dangerous, but they prove that lots of times).
Still, while the measure of a candidate/president shouldn't be "lesser of two evils," it also is not "has to be completely evil free."
Trump is a bit of a nut, but is far more of a positive for overall conservative aims than someone like Romney or McCain was. Probably even more than Bush was if you take out the wars and social issues where Bush was far-right. And of course it's unquestionable that any of the communists the left puts up are orders of magnitude more harmful.
This isn't one of Trump's finest moments, and I probably would not do what he's doing. But it is what it is. Maybe Newsome should step up and be a real leader?
