So throw in his military parade and you've got a bargain.
You show a fundamental misunderstanding of the american economy and reality.The only connectivity is the radical left shows up for all these shindigs. I've heard Antifa is present in L.A. This is a micro segment of the population not a microcosm of the population.
By shining a light on L.A. Trump who tends to view the Democrats as hostile adversaries has put them in a box. Public sentiment is not with the protesters. Democrats like Newsom have to decide to alienate the far left or more mainstream voters. It's a real devil's choice for a Democratic politician.
You are correct there will be many protests this summer. There would have been regardless. The radical left has decided if they don't get there way at the ballot box they will rage. I don't think the protests are helping whatever cause the protesters are championing.
That's very good news.
Trump is the greatest human being on planet Earth. That's the problem, he's not Apollo. His health is deteriorating fast, he may be in a wheelchair by the end of the year. Will he dress up like General Patton for his glorious military parade.
Half of Canada thinks Israel is committing the genocide that trump and the US are funding.Imagine thinking it's a flex to torch a city while waving a foreign flag... the flag of a country that they're fighting to NOT be deported to.
Let's go to Mexico and start waving Canadian flags, destroying property, demanding to be able to stay illegally and see what they do.

Stop conflating issues.Half of Canada thinks Israel is committing the genocide that trump and the US are funding.
Backing genocide, tax breaks for the rich and ICE kidnappings is killing trump at the polls.
As I said, your mixed bag of everything just gets bigger and bigger. A lot the problems and challenges are global in nature and may even impact Canada and Europe harder. Canadians are now every well of the stagnation that has existed at a macro level. This just doesn't just affect incomes. It affects the government's ability to fund social welfare programs.As I said. You are, imo, not looking at the Macro.
Couple this with AI killing entry level white collar jobs and numerous mid level ones. Tariffs killing several small e commerce business models. Border controls hurting tourism. Inflation, stagflation, high interest, a real estate crisis looming, a debt crisis, both student loan and credit card looming. Higher prices due to tariffs and businesses taking advantage of this to rise domestic pricing on locally produced goods. A population now possibly where 4 generations, starting with Gen X, and definitely after, that are worse off than their parents.
Now mix in a consumer confidence drop, resulting in a downward spiral of discretionary spending by those that might waver either way normally, a bill that is trying to kill Medicaid and social services for the most vulnerable, a continuing drug crisis, and the perception growing in the populace of an indifferent and arguably hostile administration hell bent on harming them. Increasing military use and threats to use more. A surveillance state that more people are waking up too.
And that's just the domestic. Internationally the question of the USA as the reserve currency in the face of isolationism, trade wars that with cause longer term supply chain problems, and TACO which means a loss of prestige for the office in ALL things.
It is imo a powder keg years in the making. Awaiting the match. Maybe this year maybe next, but somehow I don't think the promise of a midterms correction will be enough.
I responded to quip about J6 protesters' masks. Are you trying a find a pathway to other arguments?You miss the point. The point is, Trump is super happy about the protest in California. He is ecstatic because his tariffs are an absolute catastrophe, tourism is down 60%, ICE is not even deporting faster then Biden was after 5 months, Musk turned on him, the Jet gift from the Muslim was not very well received.... So far he is a fucking disaster. So of course the California situation is giving him a big fucking smile and he won't miss that.
Wasn't Obama known as the "Deporter In-Chief"? Holds the record for deportations I believe.I responded to quip about J6 protesters' masks. Are you trying a find a pathway to other arguments?
In any event, if ICE isn't deporting as many as under Biden in the first five months I am confused as to why the left is losing their shit over deportations. This suggestion will likely go to no avail, but trying thinking through what you are reading. Understand the author's bias and whether their logic holds beyond meaningless rhetoric and is it worth repeating.
There's a lot of drama that plays out on mainstream media and social media.Wasn't Obama known as the "Deporter In-Chief"? Holds the record for deportations I believe.
But I guess he spoke eloquently when kicking people out so everyone is ok with that.
I am discussing what is fueling the protests. Imo it isn't just this one issue. It is a growing discontent. And these things can evolve.As I said, your mixed bag of everything just gets bigger and bigger. A lot the problems and challenges are global in nature and may even impact Canada and Europe harder.

It's okay for disagreement. Turning your arguments always into a kitchen sink approach is a quick way to mask the matter at hand. The immigration protests offer no bridge to other societal grievances. Attempts to do so will lack focus and clarity. This only will hurt the Democrats particularly those who don't choose their battles wisely.
You're taking the discussion to more and more avenues.I am discussing what is fueling the protests. Imo it isn't just this one issue. It is a growing discontent. And these things can evolve.
We are at what, 5 days now? Curfews? Marines? Mass arrests? And they appear to be spreading.
The recent polling does indeed show a slight majority approve of deportations. However what is also in the tabs is how the American people are disapproving of HOW they are going about it. And WHO they are targeting.
They are not targeting criminals and leeches. They are targeting workplaces. And doing so in a heavy handed way with marked up, no names, camo wearing personal. Using unmarked vehicles and snatching up on the street. There is footage of them snatching mom's and leaving kids behind now.
The story is the Trump administration wants to suspend habeas corpus. Is this something, along with what's going on, the actual how, that you approve of?
