No, it's the supporters of that government who were at one point championing states rights, freedom speech, and the sacrosanctity of the constitution that are now twisting themselves in knots to support the administration and justify their continued support.

It's not all one sided, nor is it an occupation. Lots of people, including in those cities, agree and welcome the troops and drop in crime. If the blue states don't like like the supposed constitutional use of federal troops, which the USSC will end up ruling on, perhaps they should clean up their crime. The murder rate in Chicago deserves attention as the city government ignores it. Red cities are also on the list to be visited

Far-rightists are far more likely to believe whacky conspiracies like QAnon, COVID conspiracies, etc.
I dont lay all of it at their feet, there are left oriented whackos too, but I stand by my observation there seems to be way more right wing nuts lately, like I said, maybe its only more noticeable since they hold all the levers of power in the USA right now. It is their country to run at the moment, judicially, legislatively amd executively. They just so happen to be looking crazy doing it.
But what do the data measure?

Smuggled guns are not a problem in Canada. If it were, the government would be spending $742M to address it.Or boats smuggling guns?
I start by saying that our human memories are without a doubt very imperfect. That being said….I lived in Montreal during the whole FLQ crisis…and I do remember the bombings, especially the mailboxes which we all kept away from. With the previous sentence in mind, I don’t remember the frequency of the bombing being as high as 200 but I do stand to be corrected. As for the US averaging 5 bombings a day at the height of the domestic unrest during the 60s and 70s……not buying it. While there were bombings related to civil unrest, the anti-vietnam war movement, the Weathermen stand out for example, there is no way it was as high as 5 a day. I seriously doubt it was even as high as 5 a month in relation to actual civil unrest. I’m betting those numbers are being inflated by includeing bombings directed at underworld figures by their compatriots/competitors, criminals using bombing/arson as a tool for blackmail/protection rackets, such as has been going on in Montreal recently….and lets not forget spouses and/or business partners trying to remove their partner from the partnership.
Is the claim plausible?
Of course the claim is plausible. After all, back in those days we didn’t have the kind of all day instantaneous news transmission that we have today not to mention the type of fingertip knowledge base extraction now available. So it is perfectly plausible that we in Canada would be unaware of those kinds of numbers even now.
Splitting hairs but does a Molotov cocktail count as a “bombing”? Still bad shit, still worth noting/ counting/condemning, but just asking as a wordsmithing question.
Fireworks etc
Incendiary device. Not generally as immediately harmful; depending on what it burns, potentially much more threatening.
Fire bombing?
