Prior to going in, there has to be well publicized and documented instances of lawlessness that includes rape, beatings and unlawful imprisonment or kidnapping. then Trump will have the moral high ground. People must realize that those SWAT teams are saving real people.
I think he’d have a pretty good case for federal intervention on the basis that people’s civil rights are being violated. Granted, probably lost of the flakes in this area are probably fine with that - I read that Capitol Hill was a wealthy, mostly gay area - but there must be somebody there who’s not cool with imprisonment, seizure of assets, suspension of the rule of law, enforcement by armed warlords, etc.
If he lets this go, it’s certainly going to lead to more takeovers of areas and eventually a whole city. But he should stop tweeting threats and have a plan.
I realize it’s possible that he has already talked to the governor and worked things out, but mostly it seems like empty threats.
Barr threatened to sue state governors or local officials for civil rights violations during the lockdown in the repressive Dem states. I think this did prompt a couple of local suits where the officials were forced to back down, but on the whole, the DOJ didn’t do much. I think this emboldened the left, and letting part of Seattle be taken over by anarchists is certainly going to embolden them even more.
Nonintervention is a two edged sword. On the one hand, lawlessness is a state and local level. Seattle and blue states and cities are subject to anarcho-tyranny. However, Trump blustering but not acting effectively makes him appear to be a paper tiger. Ditto for AG Barr. Maybe the W supporters are right and this is some form of 4D chess. If they are not and nothing is done about internal chaos, the misdeeds of the Deep State from Page and Strock on up, and Big Tech suppression of free speech, finis America, barring Divine intervention.
