When a president sends troops to suppress peaceful protest, we’re not just witnessing politics—we’re watching democracy under pressure. In this episode, we unpack President Trump’s deployment of military forces in California and what it reveals about his approach to dissent, governance, and power. We explore the difference between protest and violence, between order and control, and ask what this moment means for the future of civil liberties in America. A sober, thoughtful look at a week that should concern every American—no matter your party. If you’re not angry yet, listen up. Because silence isn’t neutral. It’s surrender.

In this episode of Your Neighbor on the Left, we dive into the dark heart of Trump’s second term and explore what happens when a former president returns to power with a grudge. From purging federal agencies and targeting political enemies, to reshaping the Department of Justice into a personal weapon, Trump 2.0 isn’t just about policy—it’s about payback. We unpack his plans for retribution, the chilling rhetoric that frames his 2025 agenda, and the authoritarian undercurrents that have critics sounding the alarm. It’s part history lesson, part wake-up call—and yeah, there’s a joke or two along the way.
