7. LA allowed the troops in

DC allowed the troops in. Confederate states are now occupying the nation's capitol unopposed. The troops in DC are now being armed. Soon we will replay Kent State. Local leaders need to be on the front lines opposing these occupations. Sooner or later this is going to become violent, then what? They will shoot, then blame us for being "violent".

Why are Dems not openly protesting ON the streets of DC?

As long as governors/mayors keep allowing these deployments unchallenged this will spread across the country until Trump orders protesters fired upon. Unless our leaders are prepared to deploy state/local police, or order up the guard in advance of Trump, we will be slaughtered.

What Trump is doing is illegal, prima facia. Going to corrupt courts for relief is useless. All court challenges will eventually be struck down by the SCOTUS who are openly corrupt.

Our democracy has fallen without any meaningful opposition. A literal convicted felon runs the country because the SCOTUS refused to rule him guilty of insurrection. People are protesting the occupation, but our leaders are nowhere to be found on the front lines. We had one mayor and one representative stand up, and they were arrested, and I haven't heard a peep from leadership beyond talk.
