Why has Pres Trump apparently declared war on America?

Apparently so he can impose Marshall Law and run the mid-terms and his election himself.

I've always enjoyed Mr Rogan's performance as the IT-guy character in the TV series, NewsRadio.
He nailed it.

Pres Trump, with his ICE militia, does seem to be trying to provoke unrest.

Why is Pres Trump using ICE to stoke this apparent violence?
Asked differently... how is ICE protecting the safety of the great citizens of Minnesota by shooting at them?

He's a racist bigot through and through. That's my gut feeling on the matter.

On NewsRadio, the character he played was quite smart.
And sarcastic.
Bitingly sarcastic.

I wish I could disagree.
But as I have mentioned a few times previously, living in the YC media area, I have known of then citizen Trump since the late 80's and early 90's. Back then, he always seemed to be trying to get on the news, or in the various columns of the newspapers.
So, racist bigot?

'just following orders', as was biden doing when he set all this up by opening the borders and lighting his temporary protected status fuse.

F--k Joe Rogan. He's a huge part of the reason we're in this mess. His show is training wheels for people on the path to far-right radicalization.

As much as he knew about covid. Or geopolitics. Or any other thing besides getting hit in the head as a hobby. Yet he is who young rightwingers get their "news" from.

Exactly.
Even a smoothbrain like Joe Rogan can figure out this is fascism!
Why can't you?
Here's why. It's not that you can't figure out it's fascism.
It's that you're too puny a man to acknowledge you like fascism.

These two TV tumors made fortunes for themselves pretending to be on the side of Joe Sixpack and the masses, but they are ingenious defenders of the status quo using deflection, distraction, and faux issues (UFOs, UFC, "Saudi women can't drive" blah-blah-blah) like carnival barkers.
Comedian/writer Larry David called out Bill Maher on this issue last year.
These two multi-millionaire merdivores are doing quite well for themselves and they are on the side of the oligarchs, not our side, because they are oligarchs.

The word you're searching for is literacy
"Not a lot of literacy here these days."

It's actually "marital law", as in MAGA lips are married to Trump's butt.
