I think something even worse than Kent State will happen. Trump is already angry. Besides the protests, his approval rating is falling. According to The Economist, as of June 3rd, 45% of people approve of the job Trump is doing and 50% disapprove. I'm sure that doesnโt sit well with him.
To your question "Will he use the military to break up any protest that becomes violent?", I believe that not only will he use it to suppress and crack down on dissent, but also ihe will use it to intentionally inflame tensions. As California Governor Gavin Newsom has said, the deployment of troops in California is โpurposefully inflammatory". Given Trump's thirst for absolute power, I can see him taking the same approach to any protest that he deems violent. I hope I'm wrong.
Protest? We are in the opening act of a Civil War theyโve wanted and planned for 50 years.
Remember what Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage foundation said last year about a second American revolution? They never planned for it to be bloodless.
I want to see lots of protests this summer. Not violent protests where lives are taken and damage to property is done but lots and lots of protests where absolute mobs of people get out and march against the actions of ICE and members of the National Guard that may be assisting.

Thank you. I apologize for the error. Fixed now.
No apology needed. We are on the same team.
