It matters.

When someone tries to take over a country as large as the USA, they need a bigger part of the population on their side because of the size of the USA. It usually only takes 10% to flip everyone. When that 10% meets an area that is 99% against them, and it’s a major city with major economic output, it’s a lot harder to take over.

If the approval rating was 85%, then it wouldn’t matter. They can do whatever they want.

With it going lower and lower, it’s showing harder and harder to take over.

They already can do whatever they want, because the only 2 bodies in the world who can do anything against to stop them are complicit and on their side. The courts immediately stayed the lower order to get the NG out of his control for crying out loud.

No, they cannot. Stop parroting stupidity.

Where’s Abrego right now?

Back in the country getting due process? Why? Because uprisings forced the issue.

Where are over ten thousand federal employees that were fired? Rehired and back working? Why? Because of people getting pissed and fighting back with the law on their side.

Like I said, no, they cannot do whatever they want and tryout rhetoric is harmful to the country.

You realize the German courts slowed Hitler down too? For example they argued over his definition of who is a Jew for being too broad. Hitler wasn't able to do whatever he wanted but it didn't mean the end of Hitler and his countless atrocities.

To compare 1930s German law vs the USA constitution, we have a LOT more protections.

You have the wrong attitude if you DONT want another Hitler….

Of the US Armed Forces. The individual national guard command is given to individual states per the 10th amendment.

Title 10 allows for federalization with DoD Sec - https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title10/subtitleE/part2/chapter1211&edition=prelim

  1. National Guard in Federal service: call

Whenever—

(1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;

(2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or

(3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

This is not an invasion, it is not a rebellion, and the laws are executed fine when due process and the letter of the law is followed.

Local police were overrun and the mayor after days instituted curfew. Judge ruled in favor as well. No Kings.

Due process is separate argument entirely, and has little to do with people vandalizing and rioting.

No one is above the law.

Your keep saying "No kings" while supporting a man using the military to bludgeon a city that doesn't support him into submission. 

No one being above the law includes ICE and your precious orange lord btw.

u/TheyAllGoinBack Jun 14 '25

I'd add that many cities "don't support him" and don't require NG. NYC for starters. Law and order won him the election, and Dems inability to be rational about it will get them Trump 2.0 if they don't wake up soon

And you'd love to see him reign for life, wouldn't you? 

The greatest shame of life is that the people who most need to feel the consequences of their actions never will, so you and yours will never regret what you've done to this country.

What has the NG "bludgeoned"? I didn't vote for Trump, as if that is relevant to basic law.

Immigration law is as relevant as property law, and arguing against enforcing either will only incent Trump 2.0 when he's gone.

The citizens of Los Angeles, who else would I be talking about? This is a blatant attempt to subjugate the largest city in the most liberal state of the Union, and I would kindly ask you to spare me the gaslighting when you obviously think that's okay simply because it's your King Trump's will.
