A good article. It seems to me we win by avoiding kinetic action in the Seattle CHOP/CHAZ sitution. Let Trump jawbone the mayor and governor on Twitter, threaten to send in troops, etc but don’t do it. That would just backfire as it’s clear the level of non-compliance with law enforcement would result in injuries on both sides and likely death. They will maximize the opportunity for martyrdom and that could seal Trump’s fate if another “Kent State” situation occurred.

Instead, keep it as informational warfare, where we are winning. Most Americans disagree with what is happening there and keeping it on the top of the news cycle exposes the true nature of the Left to more normies.

Yes I know this is not the prevailing opinion beyond the trees where idiots would have Trump send in federal troops in tanks, but that’s why they are idiots and why they are beyond the trees. Logical thinking.

I reluctantly agree. I mean (and I'm perhaps harnessing my inner Bolton here) I'd like nothing better than to see the Marines rush in and just crush these useless mouth-breathing snowflakes to restore order. I'd also like to see looters actually getting shot as I value private property more than the low-life miscreants that would seek to steal and destroy it value their own lives. In essence, I'd like to see this insurgency totally crushed so badly that nobody ever again wants to try and turn the US into the USSR. Because that is what they want to do.

Caveat - when my father and my college aged brother sat the dinner table in May, 1970, arguing about Kent State, I took my father's side. In essence, "you don't throw GD rocks at GD people with GD guns!". (Dad was infantry, WW2, he cussed a lot).

Nixon got elected after Kent State.
