Suddenly White Lives Matter Againhttps://imgflip.com/i/ahnu9qIf it is OK for a democrat president to invoke the Insurrection act, it is OK for a Republican to invoke the Insurrection Act.Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson used the Insurrection Act multiple times in the late 1960s, notably to protect Civil Rights marchers in Alabama (1965) and to suppress severe racial unrest and riots in Detroit (1967) and several cities like Washington, Baltimore, and Chicago (1968) following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, demonstrating its use for both protecting rights and quelling disorder under the federal law allowing military deployment for domestic emergencies.Key Uses Under LBJ:- Selma, Alabama (1965): Sent troops to protect Civil Rights activists during the march from white vigilantes and counter-protesters, a rare use for protection.- Detroit Riots (1967): Deployed federal troops to quell violent racial confrontations.- Post-MLK Assassination (1968): Invoked the Act to suppress widespread riots in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Baltimore.
