France still holds Haitians financially responsible for…refusing to be slaves over 200 years ago. Haiti has such a rough time now because the US and EU continue to punish the country for representing the only successful slave revolt.

That was very common when I was growing up. Unfortunately, it has been replaced with variations of autistic, though “anti-woke” people will use both.

There are always conclaves within and nearby the city that are deep red. This is often where cops live, which helps maintain the “occupying army” model of policing that dehuminizes the residents.

There are federal officers and contracted security personnel on many bases. Additionally, in a domestic threat situation, sometimes they coordinate with local law enforcement. There was a false alarm on the air force academy about ten years ago and cspd, along with the sheriff’s office, were part of the clearing effort.

I had a similar situation about a year ago, but it was reversed. I was having breakfast alone while waiting for an oil change. They had sat me at a large table (6 seats), and this gal walked up and asked, “Do you need this chair?” I responded “No, please!” Thinking she would leave with it. She plopped down and chatted nonstop. I honestly found her and her conversation a bit odd, so when I finished my food, I gave a quick goodbye and paid at the counter instead of waiting for the check as I was ready to leave. I can imagine that a woman may have been put off even more by a man in that situation. Though, you did at least directly ask to sit, unlike the woman I met.

This is also the largest issue with the ability of the populace to stop him. The military and militarized police are with him. They could have refused this order, as they’re sworn to do, but they didn’t. Maybe the lower level enlisted didn’t have the knowledge of the order’s legality, but the NCOs and officers commanding them certainly did. They are class traitors and present as a monumental obstacle to the rest of us.

They have, to my great surprise, even been harassing and detaining whites. I think there is typically a political slant to it, however. They can’t have nonracist and/or nonfascist whites coming through.
