Silence of Small Government Republicans: Why Is The Right Not Upset With Trump's Actions in Democratic Cities?

(Black Star Editorial) Through various actions, Donald Trump has revealed the Republican Party as a collection of partisan opportunists, prioritizing party loyalty over national integrity. His dictatorial maneuvers, including the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, exemplify the insincerity of the so-called Grand Old Party.If Republicans genuinely believed their own rhetoric, Trump wouldn’t occupy the White House; rather, he would be incarcerated following a conviction in his second impeachment trial for actions on January 6, 2021. Have Republicans forgotten their long-standing claims of favoring “limited government”? For years, they have criticized “big government” while championing “states’ rights,” often when defending discriminatory policies in their regions. In light of recent events, it’s evident this was mere Republican posturing. Had President Obama sent federal troops into states like Tennessee, he would have faced severe backlash. Yet, as Trump invades Democratic-led cities, Republicans endorse his unconstitutional actions, demonstrating a hypocrisy that endangers the nation.
