Of course, because Trump is being very careful to target just enough cities with the national guard that didn’t vote for him and most of his voters in red states don’t travel especially to those cities.
What do you think the percentage of people would be in favor of using the national guard would be if they were deployed to rural America to stop the meth problem or they were deployed to Memphis, Houston, anywhere in Mississippi and Alabama?
Don’t you find it surprising that you don’t have the same type of ICE raids targeting the red border states but you have them targeting blue cities?
Why is Trump going to war with Venezuela instead of Mexico and Colombia where the drugs actually are? It’s all optics and meant not to upset his base.
Right now, for instance he is trying to pay off his “socialism bad” base of farmers - who he never targets with ICE raids - who are hurting because of his tarriffs.
And most of his ICE raids on farms were in blue states where he could care less about farmers since because of the electoral college, there votes don’t matter.
As far as Memphis, the rest of mostly Red Tenessee could care less what happens to black people in Memphis. He was invited in by the governor to save face.
On the other hand, if you expect me to argue that most of America gives two shits about what happens to minorities, you are arguing with the wrong person.
Of course as someone who sees a minority every time he looks into the mirror and he whose still living parents grew up in the segregationist south, I have never had any illusions about the US.
I’ve been able to navigate it quite successfully though
