I don’t think this is big enough - yet. It’s possible the CA-NG injection is the necessary acceleration. However, I mentioned yesterday, LA is a physically unwieldy built environment to trial a larger scale, militarized lockdown. That lockdown is coming; I’m as confident in it as I am tariffs cause inflation. That said, I expect this is more a trial balloon and not a dress rehearsal. Cities such as Boston (heart of American elite academia and physically small), Portland (they’ve already tried), SF/Oakland (pretty unwieldy, but arguably the symbolic heart of liberalism) are the locales I have my eyes on, along with possibly Detroit, as it offers dog whistle and sabering rattling opportunities.

I really hope you're wrong.
 
Jan 6 protesters? No problem. Ammon Bundy? A patriot. Protesters in LA? Oh, hell no! Bring out the Marines. God, such a hypocrite.

I thought the Hitler comparisons a year or two ago were a bit hyperbolic. However, during lunch today with my kids, my youngest (a recent State grad) made the point that we should never stop comparing politicians to Hitler. That should always be a thing - ever vigilant. He was right. I was wrong. Trump is either a fucking fascist, or too ---damned dumb to know he is being used by fascists.
