I’m sounding like a broken record even to myself, but again: until there are consequences for actions like these (and there will be none), they will continue and escalate. I think US is way past the possibility of legal consequences, so the only way is people banding together and providing consequences on their own. Sadly, I don’t see that happening either…
people are still too coddled by thier current creature comforts, in most places, ice hasnt hit them yet, so its out of sight out of mind, and surely they wont hit wealthier areas either. as long as ice or trump doesnt invade on rich areas, hes in the clear to do as he pleases.
I think preparing for violence is smart, but I don’t support starting it at all until you have at least a majority of the public in your organized faction, with support from trustworthy allies abroad.
I think a good lesson to learn is from the Spanish in the 1936 Civil War. You can have all the revolutionary spirit in the universe and be up against literal nazis but life isn’t a story book and you can still lose.
That said, you might not have to wait long for the other side to start the violence, as Trump just took control of Capitol Police and is talking about mobilizing National Guard on blue states.

I 1000% agree with you. I’ve been stocking up on ammo but nobody else around me seems to agree. They think waiting until midterms will change things.
It won’t.
