So, what will this week bring? The first casualties? The first deaths in the streets?
I know—I’m such a ray of sunshine. But who among us hasn’t at least gone there once or twice, to that place where we resign ourselves to the fact that confrontations are inevitable? Trump’s motives are as obvious as the empty-eyed stare on Stephen Miller’s face.
Troops aren’t needed in Chicago or Boston or anywhere else. They’re only needed in the mind of Trump and others who just can’t handle the possibility of losses in the next election, or any subsequent elections. Elections are anathema to the movement, they don’t fit with the “vision,” such as it is.
It will be interesting to see what happens if Trump sends troops to Chicago. JB Pritzker will be challenged to walk the walk. If he’s as much of a boss as previous public figures in Illinois, maybe he’s got an ace up his sleeve. Maybe law enforcement will back him, which may cause one to worry about the above confrontations.
Kinda makes one wonder what’s going through the minds of the troops being assigned. Might they be muttering, at least to themselves, “This is bullshit”?
