Seriously?
I commend Trump for sending in NG and Marines quickly but it appears like he’s only sent in a couple thousand.

These protesters know they won’t shoot them as that would be disastrous optics for the nation.

So you need to overwhelm them and have enough bodies to break it up without lethal violence.

Roll in tanks and have 20k troops and start cuffing anyone outside. You won’t need to shoot and take lives.

How bad does it have to get for us to stop caring about the optics?

Look Up the "Posse Comitatus" act to get the answer why.

frick optics. These are illegal invaders. Treat them just like we would if we are invaded by any other nation. Bring in some A-10s and mow their arse down.

The NG is there to protect the Federal buildings. The Marines aren't there yet, and it doesn't look like they've actually been deployed.

How bad did it get in 2020? The answer then was, "Not bad enough".

Why is that funny to you?

They are lighting one of our most iconic cities on fire?

Why is rolling tanks and cracking heads without firing shots so insane?

What’s the other alternative? Let them burn it all down Minneapolis style?

You acknowledge that optics are important and immediately pivot to the idea of rolling in tanks with 20K troops. What is happening isn't funny. Your idea is funny in the sense that it's completely absurd.

Who cares- it’s time for Trump to seize Power and become the Benevolent Despot we deserve -which is the best form of govt to live under
