The president of the United States has the least control over US citizens? I was with you until you wrote that. That is absolutely incorrect. And even if it was correct, local authorities never sent the national guard just to scare and demoralize the population. If you want to tune out and pretend things aren't worse in the US than before, in many ways, go ahead, but don't try and delude others on your way.
It's 100% true. The safety of your local streets, housing costs, education, availability of food and clean water, even parking enforcement, all of these are decided by your city, county, township, or state. The executive branch of the federal government has almost no control over people's daily lives.
National guard: Little Rock Central High School and the Kent State Massacre were two notable cases where states deployed the national guard to terrorize civilians. In the late 60s Delaware deployed the national guard to Wilmington for nine months. I strongly encourage you to learn the history of what guardsmen have done in your state.
Now, please talk to me like an adult speaks to another adult or don't reply.
Condescension always helps when you started the conversation saying wrong things. Outliers do not mean much here. Things are bad. I won't pretend they aren't.
Now, be extremely uncivil to me because that's what happens on the Internet.
Well, keep being anguished and angry then, I guess.
And you keep deluding yourself
IMO which is worth null getting hung up on on how large of an impact don don has on your day to day life missed the point they are making. Lean more into the where you have any impact angle lol
I think he means scaring and demoralizing working class white people.
Yes I definitely said enough for you to totally draw this conclusion and you're totally not strawmanning the shit out of me.
No my comment was sincere.
No one doubted you were trying to shove those words into my mouth. But I won't have to worry about that anymore.
Did you know the police have actually bombed a Philadelphia or why the black Panthers started in the 60s? You are looking through some deeply tinted and twisted glasses.
