You think this guy is alt right? Are you on drugs?
That's looking more and more likely.
LOL, wut? You think "fascist" is a word the alt-right uses? We don't know the specifics, but the left and the right use a completely different language. This guy was not on the right.
I believe in Trump and agree with him on most issues, but I didn't sign up for this. Trump has put the National Guard in our cities, taken control of DC's police, used federal troops on state grounds without state consent…. that's not what conservatism is. That's what authoritarianism looks like.
I don't think that's a wild thing to say, nor liberal or anti conservative.
You just signed up, and no one here is going to believe you "agree with Trump on most issues" because you immediately go to the left's talking points. We've seen way too many times.
The President can use the NG to protect federal buildings as was done in California.
The President has full legal authority, under laws passed by Congress, to take federal control of the police in DC and use the NG for law enforcement.
If the governor of a state asks the President for help and approves using the NG, then the President has the power to do so.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
