Trump has deployed the National Guard in LA, a move he's been eager to make and was just seeking a reason for. Should the situation escalate widely, he could declare a national emergency and seize additional
powers, potentially dealing a fatal blow to democracy. America chose
him, and they're now 'fully experiencing' the repercussions of that decision.
Joseph,
Your recent message is a masterclass in hysterical overreach.
A political panic attack disguised as commentary, riddled with emotional gasps and surface-level buzzwords.
But don't worry - I'm here to help.
Not to comfort, but to correct.
Let's start with your opening assertion:
"Trump deployed the National Guard in LA"
Yes. He did. As has every president from Eisenhower to Obama. The National Guard exists for this exact purpose. It's lawful. It's constitutional.
It's historical. What it's not - despite your flair for dramatics
- is "a fatal blow to democracy."
And here's the part you keep missing, Joseph:
America is not a democracy.
It is a Constitutional Republic. A republic, grounded in law, not ruled by emotion.
That word you love "democracy"
It doesn't appear once in the U.S. Constitution.
It doesn't appear once in the Declaration of Independence.
It doesn't appear once in the Bill of Rights.
It's a word people like you throw around when they lose a vote and can't accept the results.
You say "America chose him"? Yes. Through an electoral process codified in that same Constitution you seem unaware of.
But let's pivot to the real circus: Los Angeles.
Karen Bass - your shining star - has proven utterly incapable of basic leadership. A city once thriving now clings to power grids, bleeds budget waste, and drowns in bureaucratic filth. Los Angeles couldn't manage its water, its infrastructure, or its streets. And your crowning jewel? A DEI-hired fire chief more focused on diversity optics than operational efficiency.
And all of it rubber-stamped by Governor NewSCUM, the slick-haired, wine-swirling failure who treats real Californians like background noise in his TikTok monarchy. If you think that's the blueprint for American virtue, you're not just misguided you're complicit.
Your words - they're experiencing the repercussions
- are spoken like a man angry that America dared to disobey him.
That's not patriotism. That's bitterness.
I'm not here to silence you. But I will say this:
If you're going to post in this echo, bring facts, not feelings. Bring history, not hashtags. Bring reason, not rehearsal.
Cordially,
Gregory Deyss
