    Your last sentence is what I’ve been worried about as well. We all know Trump is a blathering idiot, but he’s chomping at the bit to use military powers on US soil, and so far has been with no real reason. He could very easily use this as an excuse to further deploy troops and/or push more of his fascist agenda.

      Didn’t he already deploy to Chicago? What excuse is needed when he’s already doing so? I don’t understand how everybody who portrays your sentiment is so daft/ignorant to what’s already going on.

      He doesn’t need an excuse though. He’s going to do it no matter what happens. There is absolutely no hope he won’t, just because you don’t make a fuzz about it. It’s not like he’s just now thinking: “well now they’ve done it! They’ve gotten violent! I gotta make concentration camps, and use military personel and weapons to quell their protests, and maybe even attack the whole democratic process!”. He’s already doing it.
