The recent deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles and the District of Columbia to address evident violent crime and property damage has led to its members being characterized by some critics on the Left as “Trump’s Stormtroopers,” in clear allusion and equivalence to those angry Brown-shirted unemployed war veterans, bar brawling Nazi party members of 1930s Germany, who took oath to do the work of Adolph Hitler and, for example, illegally bashed the heads of Communists, and killed them on the streets, burned books they did not like at the Universities, and terrorized Jewish shopkeepers in the sadistic early Holocaust program known as “Kristallnacht.” These characterizations, including by some Democratic friends of mine here in California, cannot and must not be taken seriously. Calling these National Guard members “Stormtroopers” is not only wildly inaccurate, it does a grave disservice to history, and to those who actually suffered at the brutality of Hitler’s war machine and actual henchman and enforcers in Nazi Germany.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!What is a “Stormtrooper?” In modern understanding, it is a character out of the “Star Wars” movies, a highly trained, elite shock trooper loyal to the Galactic Empire, identifiable by their distinctive white armor. They are the primary military force of the Empire and are known for their imposing appearance and supposed unwavering loyalty to the Emperor. But in historical context, a “Stormtrooper” refers to elite German shock troops, particularly those within the Waffen SS. These soldiers were trained in infiltration tactics and were used to spearhead attacks, exploiting weaknesses in enemy lines. While there wasn’t a single official stormtrooper regiment, various elite units within the Waffen SS and other branches of the German military adopted these tactics during the war. It is also a term used colloquially to describe Hitler’s roving Nazi thugs in political street battles as he was coming to power.

Because most of the liberal voters do not read or understand a single thing from the perspective of conservatives, and live in a bubble. The would see, only the headlines, “Trump sending National Guard troops to Washington DC” and “will take over local police department.” Those track quite well with visions of Kristalinacht and various science fiction stories of jack-booted thugs. I wish Trump understood that sometimes you need to consider how people will _perceive_ a thing overall, more than relying on the facts and details of a thing. If he were able to consider perception, maybe there would be some way to do what he wants with more finesse, which would cost less disruption and rioting by Crowds On Demand.
Sorry for typos and lack of editing of previous post.
Well, he could send in people with flowers in their hair, but it would still be reported by the democrats and media as a disguised invasion but a militia group.
Yep, they have become so narrow minded and set in their government slush funded taxpayer stealing programs there is no hope for them.
But as long as more and more workers leave the State and the Leftest Socialist Party are driving employment either Calif. or their government trolls are on their way out.
One could hope for the latter.
Really, do you even live in California? I suspect you are a bot programmed to say sh1t about California. I have noticed your similar speech patterns under different names on different websites. Go unplug yourself.
