It was weird how quickly the facts on the ground reiterated my blog post from yesterday. The national guard has indeed been called to Los Angeles, on the pretense that there is some sort of “uprising”. Which confirms a number of the things I posited yesterday.
Let’s step back a bit. In working through a collective strategy for not letting our country slide into autocracy, it is important to understand who and what we are up against. So let’s state some principles:
1. We are not fighting one person. We are fighting an organized group that has been working on their plan for quite some time. And those people are a lot smarter than the clown in the White House.
2. These mass roundups are not, in fact, about illegal immigration. That is a straw man. The people behind those actions required a fear inducing wedge issue that would get blue state citizens riled up enough to put up a visible resistance — and they seem to have found the perfect one.
All of this is leading to an attempt to invoke marshal law, so that elections can be suspended in 2026. And that is what we need to fight against.
More tomorrow.
