To me, this looks like yet another sign that the current regime is striving for tyranny. That, in turn, would probably mean civil war, unless US citizens are willing to accept the end of democracy.

At least, that's how it looks to me, a European. Do you feel the same way?

I mean, it's pretty obvious that the US government doesn't care about the law. And then, to top it all off, there's this ridiculous military parade for Drump's birthday ... only someone with dictator ambitions would do something like that.

Yeah, the LA "riots" where super tame by riot AND LA standards. Like, they didn't even have to bust out the water cannons. A skateboarder tanked some tear gas and flipped them off. It's not like a bunch of people stormed the capitol building or something. This is the flimsiest excuse ever for martial law, so I have to assume it's another step towards tyranny.

Yes, it's frightening.
