Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines in California is not about protests. It is not about ICE. It is not about immigration. It's about [...] his effort to move this country toward Authoritarianism. [...] Trump's argument for deployment of the troops is absurd and laughable. Does anyone really believe that we are in the midst of a "foreign invasion" or a "rebellion" against the United States?

It's amazing how much time some people spend worrying about the exact wording used by the small handful of influential people who seem to agree with them on an issue.
