The problem with plain clothes is it's kinda hard to tell if they're a cop or just security,. especially in the heat of the moment.
Yea I get it. I'm unfortunately reaching the point where to me it doesn't matter because something/someone needs to be the Luigi for this movement. Punching a plain clothes cop in the mouth isn't shooting a CEO, but on the news, it could be an inspiration for a movement.
10+ years ago, the rhetoric that the GOP uses in normal conversation today would have been a career ender. Trump being the piece of shit he is, said it all out loud and that made it acceptable for other cunts to do the same. Racism, Bigotry, Antisemitism, they're all acceptable now because someone broke through that barrier. Maybe defending one's freedom with violence against the cross burners could have the same normalizing effect.
Don't forget that they are now throwing seig heils now.
Thanks to Bronzo the Clown specifically, but they've been on this path for decades, so if it wasn't Bronzo, it would have been some other POS Republican. As long as they could get just enough votes for this shit, given the way demographics are changing, you could almost predict how reactionary these fucks were going to get.
They looked around and see how many non-whites there are. They see how many non-xtians there are. They see gays getting married and being accepted, and now they are further freaked out to find out that trans exist and are not closeted like they once were...
