America, it seems, is breaking down. The BLM demonstrations just won’t end. And these “peaceful protests” are getting really violent. Cities look like war zones. Elected officials are joining in and getting gassed. Boomers, who just wanted to grill, now look like they’re ready to kill.
A federal response from the the Trump administration was all but inevitable. But instead of the police or national guard taking back the streets, we get shadowy, masked figures in camouflage, driving mini vans, swooping in to apprehend organizers.
What does all this mean?
Is this the long-awaited of re-assertion of authority? Or does this reveal weakness and sympathy with the protests? Does Washington view its own territory much like it does the Middle East—a place full of foreigners, where the only form of engagement is “black ops"?
