The cities in which Antifa has run wild – Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis – are all hyperliberal environments to which the President owes nothing

So if you're a Conservative, a disable veteran, a business owner, or a Christian in Seattle, Boston, New York Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Michigan, or wherever else that liberal government is in charge, you have no rights. The Federal government won't help you when they come to burn, rape, loot, assault, and murder.

Wonderful.

Don’t be a simpleton again. Do you not understand Federalism?
Do you want/expect the Federal government to get into every issue for which the states, counties and lesser jurisdiction are responsible, indeed charged to carry out?

Get out...while the getting is good. Like the jews who saw the handwriting on the wall in the 30’s and split Europe, Otherwise you risk being collateral damage in the coming conflagration.

I think that is a crucial point. Just because you live in, say Wisconsin, that doesn’t mean you cease to be an American citizen covered by the guarantee of rights in our Constitution.

I think Trump should at least have more forcefully urged these mayors and governors to protect their citizens, and actually I think he should even have federalized the National Guard in some cases. President Eisenhower sent in both the National Guard and the US military when desegregating the schools in Little Rock. - in other words, to provide protection to citizens that the governor and mayor were unwilling to provide. Faubus originally had the Guard supporting the segregationists until Eisenhower put them under Federal control.

I think the perception that Trump had lost control (or never had it) and that he didn’t care what happened to the innocent citizens of these cities cost him a lot of votes and confidence. He’s trying to get it back now, working with Barr to file lawsuits, apprehend criminals, etc. but the damage is done and many lives were ruined in those cities.

The response should be to leave Sodom, and don’t look back.

A lot of us have been or are currently in that situation. The great thing about America is: You’re free to move. Get out while the getting is good. Sorry to say, it’s not everybody’s responsibility to bail out those cities. I was born and raised in Detroit and married during the ‘67 riots. I left a short time later. The cities mentioned will turn into Detroit if they haven’t already. It hurt to leave my “hometown” but it had to be done.

I don’t see conservatives protesting in those areas, nor shooting those who assault or burn.

I see peace in the areas where conservatives do - or would, but seeing chaos doesn’t happen because they clearly will if it does.

There were BLM protests around here. Signs were waved, and then they went home. No problems, because looters & arsonists get shot around here.

There is no law (or Berlin type wall) that keeps conservatives, disabled veterans, business owners or Christians living in those cities. MOVE!

Those individuals you named and others like them are no different then hostages.

First, like the article pointed out, the Federal Government is not the first line of defense. City Mayors have the responsibility for their cities, then the Governors have over all responsibilities. It is actually unconstitutional for the Federal Government (in most cases) to get involved unless asked in.

If asked, President Trump would send troops. As for money I say no. All these Democrat strong holds use their money not on infrastructure but on social welfare schemes to buy more votes. They are not poor, they just use the money they have poorly.

The demands being made by the left are getting more extreme (partly because some have given in to their first demands) but what you have to understand they do not expect their demands to be met. Why? Then their would be no reason to terrorize, burn, loot and murder.

The American people will respond when the time is right.

Traditional Americans need to move out of those hellholes before crime skyrockets and property values drop like a lead balloon.

You have the right to pack up and leave the hellhole. Vote with your feet.

Agreed: Normal people, citizens of this country, taxpaying working people are being held hostage and no one does a thing. I can see the politics, even agree with it...but it is Trumps job to enforce the constitution. I am a Trump man, but this was a mistake, you can’t pick and choose. If it was me held hostage I would sue.

The Fed gov has a lot more to consider than the local situation in several places. Where are the Men? Are there no Men in these places?

Don’t be ridiculous.

It’s the responsibility of the Mayors of the cities and the Governors of their States to deal with the factions that are rioting and looting businesses.

The President can’t take over and send in troops unless the Governors request him to do so.

This is not China. The States have their rights and with those rights comes responsibility for dealing with problems.

I just returned to Chicago to put up my house for sale. My neighborhood is “extremist” liberal. The citizens get what they vote for, unfortunately. I don’t expect the 82nd Airborne to parachute in here to rescue me from local bred Marxist Stupidly. That is why I have to get the heck out of here. The voters are brainwashed and will not learn.

It is terrible for the disabled. And what business owner here in Chicago is stupid enough to reinvest here if the dumb####k leadership refuses to protect the business from future looting?

If you live in one of these liberal cesspools, you’re outflanked. The ballot box is your weapon and if the demographics are against you, you have to leave. Making your neighbors feel the pain of their political choices is the answer. If they choose to keep voting in the people that do this to them, they’re getting what they deserve. It’s clear the Democrats have been taken over by the Marxist wing and the moderates helped that happen. If President Trump were to protect the moderates from their actions, they will continue to support the very people who are now making their lives uncomfortable. Republicans in these areas are unfortunate casualties but what’s happening is a real-life demonstration of Einstein’s definition of insanity.

My state is a swing state, so it is a fight. I do not want the Feds butting in on anything, we will handle all problems ourselves. Most Red states feel the same way. The Blue states want complete control over who they see as their serfs.

If you live in a Blue Wall state move out soon, time is not on your side.

When these cesspools ( cities ) stop being illegal immigration sanctuaries then I will be upset at Trumps position.
