Manufacturing violence to justify a police state

 Donald Trump and the domestic brains directing him, Steven Miller, are doing what authoritarian police states have always done - creating violence as a pretense to establish a police state.  From Thomas B Edsall, NYT article:

"The quickest way to piss people off is to send soldiers into their neighborhoods especially when there’s no reason for them to be there. It's inherently provocative, and Trump and his team understand this. Research by the political scientist Robert Pape shows that the single most powerful predictor of suicide terrorism is the presence of foreign troops on local soil. People hate, hate, hate that. They hate the humiliation, the powerlessness, the feeling of being occupied.

Once citizens begin to view their own government's security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable."

Oldest tactic in the fascist playbook - false "emergency," send in the troops, abuse the populace, incite violence, justify military occupation of the entire nation, viola - end of elections.  Totalitarian fascist police state.  

For Trump - No Epstein files exposure.  No dying in prison for pedophilia and corruption.  

And, for Miller - Racist hatred, terrorism, and "purification".

But America can see this and can not fall for it.  I choose to believe that these extremists will fail because they don't have enough support in the country to pull it off.
