Trump wants to put our largest city under occupation, sure, and we hate that. But on the other hand ... During the Antifa / BLM riots of 2020, we could hear small explosive charges being set off on the streets below and see the craters left behind, the next day.

We can still remember the stores in our neighborhood getting smashed up, twice, our neighbors being threatened with violence, and a charming attempt to set an apartment full of people on fire, on the South Side, by rioters who then tried to keep the residents from escaping.

You want to set up this narrative in which there is a good side (yours) and a bad side (MAGA), in which the moral difference is so clear as to compel us to dive into the fight, and bleed and die in large numbers, just to give your side a win. That's going to be a hard "no," buddy.

Yes, we get it. You love death and destruction. Psychopaths usually do, but normal people, not so much. Especially when the fights that somebody is trying to drag them into, really aren't theirs, and they have workable alternatives. Which we do.

We can move. Movers can be a pain to deal with, but if it's a choice between them and the US Army, I'd much rather deal with the movers. Guess I'm just funny, that way.

And here's the OP's post. bsky.app/profile/katm... The usual random, mudslinging accusations of whatever I'm supposedly guilty of may now begin. I'll hardly care, because this is so stupid. Do we really need to explain why we're not eager for a civil war?

If Trump is behaving lawlessly (again), then let's start by challenging him in the courts, lawfully, not in the streets, lawlessly. Let's leave no room for rational doubt as to who the good guys are. That starts with a refusal to cater to bloodthirsty anarchists.

I can (and do) despise Mr. Trump without liking you, Daniel. You are not our friend.
