I think it has a lot more to do with the urban / rural political divide. And the fact that the cities are where political unrest will begin and take root.
They’re trying to stifle it before it gets bad, or use any violence as an excuse to increase the pressure.
Also, it helps normalize having soldiers in the streets , so citizens put up with it as a new way of living.
What’s wild about it too is how the far right who spent decades railing against the Feds are suddenly seeming pretty cool with this. Like did folks just suddenly forget ruby ridge? Or Waco? Guys is Mcveigh not a hero anymore?? What’s happening?
They didn’t, in their eyes all of this is “revenge” for for the 2020 riots and woke. That all being said, I do think the government is employing Strategy of Tension in order to make the masses screech for a surveillance state.
Its ironic that the strategies that America used to terrorize Europeans into accepting NATO, are being used to terrorize Americans while dismantling NATO. That old imperial boomerang keeps coming back around
