LA was a dress rehearsal for what Trump really has planned

[B.See]

In today's online liberal media, you'll find various articles that pretty much say the same thing I've been saying about Trump - including his demonization of SELECT immigrants, his attacks upon diversity, his disputing of birthright citizenship, his purging and undermining of governmental checks and balances, his assaults upon the judiciary, the media, and the Constitution.

IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN.

Here's what the ever spot on Thom Hartmann has to say about it:

LA was a dress rehearsal for what Trump really has planned - Thom Hartmann

As Trump levels attacks on Los Angeles — sending in federal forces to “restore order” amid unrest provoked by ICE’s illegal tactics — Portland’s secret‑police saga shouldn’t just echo, it should ring alarm bells. If you thought that unmarked vans and invisible state power were confined to dystopian fiction, Pettibone’s story proves they already stalk our cities.

Trump and his neofascist sidekicks sending the National Guard into LA may look, on the surface, like another “law and order” stunt from a man whose political brand depends on hate and fear. But beneath the posturing lies something far darker and far more dangerous to American democracy.

This is not even remotely about suppressing unrest. Instead, it’s about setting an unconstitutional, anti-democratic precedent: that (any) president of the United States can deploy military force on a whim, against his political enemies, without state or local consent.

It’s about turning a democratic republic into an authoritarian stronghold. It’s about ending federalism — what political scientists and our Founders called our form of government — as we know it.

2. Bigger. Full-on coup.

Help stop it by raising awareness, so that everyone will see it unfold and do their part.

Sun-Tzu style.
