Trump or someone in the Trump government appears to be deliberately manufacturing a state of “tension.”
Highly publicized and dramatic ICE raids in the most liberal cities like Portland and Chicago almost seem designed to invite a response from Left-Wing agitators.
ICE agents appear to be acting more adversarial and provocative toward these agitators than any law enforcement I’ve ever seen.
Left Wing agitators are assembling to protest at detention facilities and attacking ICE in the field which creates the need for national guard or federal DHS/DoW troops to protect ICE. Surely this will be met by more aggressive tactics from demonstrators.
If this is a calculated strategy to climb up the escalation ladder and force an intense confrontation between law enforcement and the radical Left, one which leads to a collapse of the Left, then that is a very interesting scenario.
I fear that the Trump administration lacks the will and follow through to do what is necessary to win a true confrontation with the Left. If that is the case, then all they are doing is antagonizing the Left and creating a tension which will just explode rather than lead to a pretext for a Right Wing power grab.
In which case, I agree with Curtis Yarvin that this Trump admin is doing nothing other than inciting the Left to destroy us when they return to power.
