Dont be fools. If he goes in with the Military the optics will be so bad we might as well pack it in for November. Hes probably gonna let the Feds handle this like they did with the Antifa raids. Remember how the riots were going quiet in early June? Barr did it. Wit the Feds tracking down Antifa leaders and then doing snatch and grab. Like a fucking tactician. #DefundthePolice is the newest trick after the #martiallaw. Stop assuming you can just crack this shit down without blowback.

Downside to living in a Constitutional Republic. Difficult to just launch a crackdown on dissent without simultaneously needing to justify it to a public that will only see the Brutality and ignore the underlying context that prompted the crackdown to start with.

I actually see limits on Federal government as a positive.

Precisely. Imagine if a radical dem like AOC was in charge and decided to crack down on all gun owners by military force. It is important not to set a precedent like that. I touted "send in the military" too but pedes have changed my mind.

I agree that we should not storm the place. But you just made a mistake that non-lefties often make. Precedent means absolutely nothing to lefties. If they're even aware of precedent, they won't hesitate to violate it.

The military would just laugh at being asked to deal with this.

Coke up some Marines and give them an AAV7 and tell them to go nuts.

Unless he goes all in and uses the military to take over State governments.

Voter fraud, sanctuary cities... At what point a local institution can be considered subversive?

Justice matters more than optics.
