The president is trying to create a situation to declare martial law. That is why he is calling Portland a war torn city. It is why he is mobilizing ICE and military in states and cities known to protest. He wants to provoke violence so he can declare war. That allows him to defer elections.

Most people in the US do not understand the severity of the situation we are in. This is not just a rogue president where we can ride it out and vote for someone else in a few years. This is a well planned takeover that has been shaped for decades. Every action creates opportunity for the next.
