19. It's not just revenge against blue states and cities. It's a military takeover of them.

I think that militarizing blue cities and states is just one step in a plan. He wants to provoke violence from protesters in order to shoot at them to intimidate others from protesting. It would also give him the excuse to declare martial law and suspend all civil liberties and the Constitution itself. It would be Trump's Reichstag Fire.

Also possible that he has some outrageous announcement planned regarding policies or his absolute power and is setting up troops in places where he expects that the strongest protests and resistance would come from.
