Democrats are shocked, shocked, that Trump is talking about using the guard “on citizens” (who are rioting and destroying cities).
Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails:
Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to keep order while they integrated the schools.
He used the military against segregationists, the enemy within, his political foes.
Was that wrong? Was Eisenhower also Hitler, same as Trump?
Kennedy also sent the regular Army to help quell anti-desegregation riots at the University of Mississippi. To be fair, modern Democrats, at least the ones in MInneapolis, likely think of Kennedy as a fascist today, too.
