3. It's a doddering old fool, living in the past and hoping no one else remembers the present

He's using the BLM protests as a pretext to harass people who votyed for Democratioc leadership and it's totally transparent to all of us except maybe the core cultists who don't remember the protests ended years ago and there is no current threat to anyone but a private paramilitary called ICE and even then, protests to their excessive force and other crimes has been mostly peaceful.

Most of us old farts know this particular deployment is a really bad idea because it does provoke peaceful demonstrations and we all remember what happened at Kent State. Deploy the Guard, bored, twitchy and missing work and family, and add a few protestors who are peaceful but misbehaving, and things can go very wrong very quickly.
