Nonviolent resistance worked
I get this aching feeling that whatever horseshit he was planning to use the Nat Guard for he’s now just gonna use his freshly hyper-funded gestapo, ICE, for.
And you’ll hear less about it from news outlets because its less flashy as the Nat Guard, and also they’re all under Trump’s thumb anyway
I think the public display for fear was the point, but it backfired tremendously. Some policy goon probably finally broke through that they aren’t able to rig the midterm elections quickly enough and the polling is collapsing.
I hope so.
I’ve been personally speculating that the rift forming in the GOP is, albeit small, a result of GOP congressmen losing faith in Trump’s ability to literally steal the midterms and keep the GOP in power, while those doubling down on MAGA are either delusional or coping.
Its hard to say. I do know we got 11 more months to find out, and we’re already seeing more and more GOP resignations. Not to mention the fiasco that is Venezuela. I think GOP congressmen remember that going into Iraq, even with 9/11 as a rallying cry, gave us 8 years of Obama. Venezuela might legit kill the GOP for good.
Still a victory. While horrible the precedents set by using military are worse than ice. But this is no time to stop
Well, Trump, as long as you’re dropping stuff, why not drop dead?
I got permabanned from Reddit because I said he should stroke out and suffer instead of dying. They said I was inciting violence.
The courts did that not non-violent protest
The courts act, but they don’t act in a vacuum. Had the protests been violent, or had there been no protests at all, we could easily have seen a different outcome
Nonviolent protest does nothing. Until the issue being protested is under threat they don’t care

Is this actually a victory for the good guys?
Yes. The combination of widespread protest with lawsuits often succeeds
Where my “why bother” lemmings at?
They’re busy getting their candidates ready for the 2026 midterms.
