I'm not against integrating socialist policies nor praising capitalism am I? I'm just against violence and murder especially.
The entire USA history has been about violence against the poor and marginalized. You don't seem to realize we never peacefully protested our way into rights or similar. Even MLK knew he needed a Malcom X, even if MLK wasn't going to tell people to be violent, the guarantee of that violence is an incentive to listen to peaceful people. That's why the No Kings Protests don't work, why most ICE protests don't work. There's no bite to the bark. Trump is still working like an autocrat with GQP backing and ICE still kills people, especially prisoners as we speak.
Please don't give Trump a reason to suspend midterms or to use the military against his own people. The protestors stand no chance once violence leads to Trump getting the military involved. Protests don't work instantly but Trump and ICE are seen very unfavorably by the populous. Don't let anyone tell you protests have to effect. I guess the Maidan protests in Kyiv ended up turning violent after what the government did attacking protesters and that was a success. But people need to be in unity. I fear the US is too polarized. We will hopefully all see the end to outlive these petty autocrats. The checks and balances weren't as strong as people thought they were, thats for certain
He's already going to fucking do it. What are you going to do when he does so, hold a sign up?
