It’s always what happens. Most of Bush policies targeted our own population, Regan’s "war on drugs" which did nothing to stop drugs, but did a lot to lock up Black and Brown ppl. Most of the time they use the tactics of fear to make ppl comply to these new policies.

Black People Knew This Would Happen

Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

Recent polling data shows that Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s actions in office so far — particularly his mobilization of the National Guard in U.S. cities. A majority also say he has been creating chaos and disorder.

Polling Shows Americans Reject Trump’s Threat to Militarize US Cities

A majority of voters, 58 percent, said presidents should only send military forces to cities that face external threats.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Sounds great, but for this to occur it would require the GOP to not be absolute cowards that only act to preserve their own power.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.
