Protests intensify in Los Angeles after Trump deploys hundreds of National Guard troops
apnews.com
National Guard troops have begun arriving on President Trump's orders in response to immigration protests.

The recent protests have drawn hundreds of participants but remain far smaller than other mass demonstrations, including the 2020 protests against police violence that spurred Newsom to request assistance from the National Guard.

    He needs his base to believe Italy’s it is a war zone.

    The propaganda machine is going to make it look like CA and other places are in open insurrection to justify civil war.

    Welcome to Nazi America.

      Propaganda will only get you so far. You need a radical insurgency you can count on.

        Well, andor kinda got that wrong.

        They just need one or two good clips of people being violent, that they can put on blast.

        Doesn’t need to be a recent clip, or an actual liberal insurrection or even happening in the US.’

          If I had a nickel for every time Fox News rolled that clip of the alleged gang members holding rifles in that apartment hallway I’m sure I could buy something quite nice for myself.

            I remember during the Floyd riots, my grandma from Missouri kept sending me clips of things.

            “Grandma, this is Minnesota. We don’t speak French.” Had to be said more than a few times.

            She still think’s Minneapolis is a war zone, even thought the last time she was here I took her for a drive through, showing how it’s not.

      Not protesting isn’t going to change the narrative. His base still believes every major city literally burnt down during the 2020 protests.

      Honestly I thought you just meant they’d take footage from a recent riot somewhere in Italy and claim it was Inglewood, manufacturing evidence is certainly in the playbook as we’ve seen from previous wars.

        I mean, they might do that. Floyd rioters apparently spoke a whole lot of french in the coverage my grandma saw (and sent me.)
