He doesn't like being told "no" by anyone. It conflicts with his dictatorial powers. Hats off to Mayor Bowser in her resistance to this invading force.

We have to stick together. If he wins there, he will seek to establish troops in every city. He has already signalled his intentions to do that. Our job is to resist by peaceful protest, communicate the true state of the Union, support those voices of dissent, and seek to gain the support of the military to our side. Donald is going to get people killed.

He already is exploring shooting people who basically are doing nothing wrong. All other dictators and authoritarian leaders have np problem shooting dead people that oppose them. Donald Two Scoops is just working his nerve up incrementally.

Donald's M.O. is to have a third party to throw under the bus. He doesn't do well when the arrow points straight at him. This is the Achilles heel that other dictators do not have. Others don't mind slaughtering thousands at a time. Donald's technique was learned early, has become a habit, and it is not something that he will give up easily.

So, if he can get the troops to kill people, he will blame them for ill restraint. When we dissent, we are protecting both ourselves and them. We need the military to turn on Trump, et al. They are our warriors, along with the state leaders who also dissent and speak up. Courage is contagious. Mayor Bowser (love that name) is on the side of the People.
