The strange and frightening images of unidentified military-looking men taking protesters off the streets of Portland, Oregon, and into unmarked vans may be headed to a city near you if that city is, as President Donald Trump declared Monday, run by "liberal Democrats."

This is sketchy stuff. And it's not a good look for a country that's supposed to be an open society. And it's particularly distressing that the President is openly threatening cities based on the political affiliations of their leaders.

The teams of masked authorities seen in Portland dressed up for war like special forces apparently belong to the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection Unit.

They're trained for drug missions, but with Trump demanding "law and order" and disagreeing with local authorities, they've been dispatched to American streets.

Speaking Monday at the White House, Trump suggested more federal agents will soon be headed to more American cities.

3. The christofascists have been spreading this myth for decades...

Big cities, supposedly run by Democrats and filled with minorities. All as if there are on Democrats there. Yet another conspiracy.

This is their white whale, the wet dream way to own the libs, bringing really law and order to the land after the poor bigots have been victimized for soooo long.

Problem is these whackjobs want to see people dead.

This is an escalation for the BLM protests which made Donnie look bad. Attacks on the confederates statues were attacks on conservatism. The Pig can't let that slide.

The right wing fringe who are paying attention are drooling over the civil war they think is coming.

5. Don't take the bait.

Trump wants to throw this country into chaos and he is counting on people in the streets so he can define the narrative. Don't let him. That would go further in Trump's mental demise if we reacted with the conviction that we will destroy him at the ballot box.

6. Can the local police and national guard

stop them upon arrival? Confiscate their gear?
