    It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas.

    Republicans are marching National Guard soldiers into the largest cities in America on exaggerated “crime fighting” excuses. They have established an unaccountable militia with ICE hiding their identities and violating the civil rights of American citizens on exaggerated or fabricated drug/violence reasons. They’ve needed no legitimate excuses to do these things, yet they are actively doing them. This changes nothing on that front.

      Looking for afar, with an ocean between where I live and where this happened…

      It’s not the government you have to be worried about. They are fascists, and they were going to escalate anyway. It’s the mesh of Nazi militias you have, which can decide to go openly ‘hunting’ progressives. Don’t expect Law enforcement to do anything about that (and iirc the groups who were watching those bastards have been dissolved).

        That’s not what they said.

        They’re just pointing out that Trump will be everage the situation and enact an even more fascist agenda.

        That’s not saying the left shouldn’t do anything, rather just be prepared for the consequences.
