Everybody, we need to talk about what is happening regarding the Federal occupation occurring in Portland, OR. This is a CRAZY-WEIRD and *super-ominious* thing.

It is NOT normal.

The Feds are headhunting prorestors with riot munitions and snatching them into unmarked vans.

Civil rights demonstrations have continued continuously for over a month, and Portland's Police have utterly failed to suppress them, despite repeatedly breaking laws regarding use of force and the constitution.

So Trump trash-talked PPB and sent in the Feds to flex on us.

Remember: Trump is an artless brute. His motives are always transparent, and this is on brand for him. It's a show of force from a man who doesn't understand the nature of strength.

He's creating pretext for doing it anywhere else he wants, and his enemies are obvious.

Trump means to invade cities run by the "Liberal Democrats" and his Federal goons will then prosecute a war of terror against the demonstrators there.

If you ever want to know what Trump is going to do, just listen to him. He's already told you what he's planning.

The media should be blaring about this. This is some far-out authoritarian bullshit, y'all. It is NOT normal. Yet, despite high drama in the streets and myriad crimes of the cops and the Feds against the People, there is a darkly portentious silence about it in the media.
5/5
This is blatant and brutal abuse of power and it is overtly and unconstitutionally oppressive. It is exactly how a modern government carries out a war against its people.

Just zoom out for a second and take it in. It's clear as day.
