I try so hard to give Donald Trump benefit of the doubt on things (I mean I would have NO idea how to be president if it were handed to me) but having as much power as he does, and even saying on public forums things like "Newsom should be arrested" but then doing nothing useful?
Sure he threatened to send National Guard and he did, but they're standing around, not stopping criminals.
California's mayor and governor are the ones in charge of the police and they are on the side of the terrorists.

I guess what I'm saying is, if the President of the United States can see that there is a problem and even comment on it, but then walks away and lets a city burn?
He just needs to step down. He's too weak to be in charge.
Right?? I'm sitting here like "Nigga YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT! If he can be thrown into jail YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! Don't just post about it like a commentator, do your fucking job you fat orange fuck."
 
Has the use of lethal force against rioters and looters who refuse to disperse been authorized?
No?
Call me when Trump grows a pair instead of posting on Truth Social.
They are extremely reticent to do this because it would automatically turn over 2/3rds of the country to support the protesters(cattle that Americans are).

Optics unfortunately does matter here. White normies can be swayed against you if you too hard.
 
You know why MLK's civil right's movement became ascendant to the black panthers, the nation of Islam, Malcom X etc. Because "Have a point, be non violent and put on your Sunday best" is a pretty unassailable look. If you have cops fire-hosing a black man in a suit holding a sign saying "I, too, would like to vote" its does a good job of making the opposition look like the bad guys

Now today the premise is illegals have every right to be here. I don't think statements that contradict themselves are points but even if I steelman it and say "well these folks have been here for decades and they contribute and have kids here and it would be cheaper to naturalize them then deport them" it still wouldn't be a reason to wave a Mexican flag. In fact that's the opposite fucking point. "We're illegal and we don't even identify as American. Give us what we want"
Were did the american dream go and no it has nothing to do with all these mexican flags.webp
And since everyone is dressed in their salvation army best, it doesn't even give me the feeling you take this seriously, this kind of seems like a gay LARPing IRL meetup. Wear a bra lady, this is a life and death situation right?

Now lets burn some electric cars in the street and make sure the glowiest mexican in the time zone has 4000 different photos of him. Let him go guys! Its super cool, we're bashing the fash! Nothing bad has ever happened involving skateboards and protests in the 2020s.

There is gonna be 9 Republican appointees on the supreme court by the time my kids get into high school lol.
 
Gavin's 2028 political campaign burned up alongside the 5 Waymo cars.

There's no comeback from this image alone
The LA fires and the June riots should have killed Gavin's future prospects. But it won't. Because Gavin make AFWL wet. And according to them, he's hot. Emotional over rationale.

It may seem like the obvious thing to do, but like it or not we would have to contend with the immediate effect that a huge chunk of the country would believe the fascist dictatorship had come for real and flip the fuck out. They need to do something but they need to play it VERY carefully and marching in guns blazing and arresting local leaders ain’t it. Not yet. And remember, Trump isn’t the be-all and end-all. He has advisors in his ear and I imagine they’re urging extreme caution.

Man, it's almost like people like you can conveniently ignore everything that was actually being done in response, to instead swear up and down nothing is actually being done.

The Community Happenings post literally lays out a timeline what's been happening including the response by the National Guard

But I guess you need to conveniently ignore that so that way you can start Doomposting.

Almost on exactly time as the protesters get shut down
 
The civil rights movement had loads of riots. King should have been impaled on a metal pole.

The problem was Jewish media tended to zero in on southern policing-which disturbed the sensibilities of Whites elsewhere.

If we had social media in 1963 or 68-no one would disagree with the KKK or Citizen’s Councils.
