Military deployments in Portland and Chicago are currently blocked by court order. What we're currently seeing on the streets is civilian law enforcement with cosplay uniforms.
The numbers of troops called up in Portland and Chicago are low, less than 500 each. This isn't enough to do any meaningful military occupation. At most it's to show off, like in the Assault on MacArthur Park.
These reasons are why the public will not condone "self defense violence". The "invasion" has simply not reached a stage where it's warranted.
