This plays out one of two ways for the Democrats.
- Trump enacts the Insurrection Act, the violence will escalate until there are more deaths. At that point, the Left will scream that he’s declared war on us citizens engaged in the exercise of their 1A right, or
- Trump does NOT call the insurrection Act into effect, the violence escalates until there is another death, at which time the left will blame him for NOT putting a stop to the rioting and violence caused by the presence of ICE.
The longer this goes on, the more money will have to shift to support it. The longer this goes on, the farther the money trails can be tracked. As much as I hate to say it, protracted is better (so long as ICE can avoid having to shoot another Leftist) PROVIDED, (As in IF and ONLY IF), when things are done (or even sooner), the fiscal sources for the funding can be AND ARE prosecuted without delay, funds frozen, and held liable for any and all damages resulting from this insanity.
Money is fungible, and the more the left has to spend on this, the less they have for the Midterms. ALSO DO NOT FUND the organizations feeding the Left, even if the government has to stay shut down.
Of course, residents (even legal ones) just want it to 'go away'. Their placid, blinders-on, lives are being disrupted, their stuff and kids endangered by the heightened tensions and nonsense.
If I imagine this on MY block, I'd be tempted to have the rifle or shotgun by the door, and I'd be packing heat at home. No one likes living with that sort of stress, especially people who are being fed nonsense that ICE is just rounding up peaceful and productive members of the community who just happen to be illegals. And those in on the whole scam, who benefit from it, directly or indirectly, will be doubly opposed, even if they aren't out in the streets contributing to the mayhem.
