America, Resisting Occupation

I AGREE WITH President Trump that the people protesting in the streets in Iran are on the right side,that the Iranian government should be overthrow and replaced, and that the United States should support the uprising,and should openly say so,should declare our allegiance to it. The harsh, brutal theocratic government of Iran responded by calling Trump a "criminal",which is of course quite correct, but not something we need or want to hear from the criminals who oppress Iran in the false name of religion, just as our Amcerican version of religious fanatical politics, the Christna nationalists, sek to reduce our beloved Americaunder the uoke of religious tyranny, seemingly. The Iranian uuprising is evidently going to fail, putting the United States at even greater odds with Iran, and it will be interesting to see how Trump deals with Iran. It seems possible and even likely that he will soon unleash considerable military firepower on them, and it will be interesting to observe the reaction of MAGA, and of is staunchest supporters. Keeping the United Staets out of these kinds of foreign military entanglements is precisely why Trump got the support of America first conservatives. Donald Trump, champion of popular resistance to government tyranny. Go figure. Its a considerably different story in the United States, where Trump hates criticism and opposition so much that he labels opponents of his administration and policies "traitors", and threatens to take action against them,almost like what a fascist dictator would do, one of which Trump is, with increasing frequency, being accused of being. It will be "interesting" to observe what Trump does with both the National Guard and the I.C.E. agency, the twins tools of tyranny very much at his immediate disposal. Whether or not he requires Congressional consent to do this or do that is beginning to not matter, because Congressional Republicans appear content to let Trump usurp their legislative power. There are a few rumblings of discontent among Repblican politicians who know damned good and well that Trump is hugely overstepping his authority, but not only are afraid to do anything about it for fear of losing the next election, but who actually agree with Trump's policies, notwithstanding the fact that he implements many of them illegally, without Congressional consent. And that, of course, is the crux of Trump's continuing support, and always has been. His supporters largely agree with his policies, especially on topics like immigration and issues like LGBTQ rights and social issues. There is a limit to how much military the American people will tolerate in the streets of its cities. Opposition to this will coefromboth teh left and the right. f I.C.E.and the National Guard present too heavy a presence for too long a time anywhere in the country, a majority of the local population will grow first uneasy, then alarmed, and finally will demand a return to normal life.There is a limit to which Trump can play this militaristic game, and get away with it. It is not likely to help improve his approval ratings, which might be beyond repair, since they have never been high. Sixty percent of Americans do not merely opppose Donald Trump, they despise him. Trump is one of those "love him or hate him" people, and the love is in the minority. Assuming he seesteh trap he's in, Trump will eventually be forced to declare the streets of America safe,a dn withdraw his troops. The American people do not want their cities to be occupied by oppressors.
