Yes, exactly. It's still an incredibly dangerous time for all of us, but they're going whole hog now because this is their last chance, and those in this shitstain of an administration know that if they don't consolidate power now, somehow, they never will.

I don't follow many political analysts, but I do follow Heather Cox Richardson because I admire her rigorous historical scholarship and style of presentation, and she agrees with you. She puts the rough timeframe as "between now and May," as in, if they don't succeed by May, they won't succeed. It will just crumble, as you say.

For myself, they did themselves no favor with the Minneapolis murder, because I've got the women I know who have watched the videos telling me that the asshole who shot her is the typical embodiment of pretty much every abuser they've ever personally had to deal with, and they all see some part of themselves in her. If that's the case, and it seems so from the nationwide protests that have sprung up everywhere with next to no notice, then they have most certainly pissed off the wrong crowd and narrowed their window of opportunity even further.

I certainly hope so.
