    And that's what they want. A justification.

    Like they already aren’t going to do what they want to do anyways? No we need to resist these mother fuckers.

    That's easy to say if you are some bold internet teenager or a Gen Z 20 something; not if you have a family or house or career.

    Well, today a family lost their mother at the hands of fascism.

    A couple months ago a judge lost their house possibly from fascist arson.

    Thousands have lost their careers to this fascism.

    I don't know why you think you're immune, but you aren't. I'm not. None of us are.

    I don't know the best course of action right now, but Stephen Miller and Trump are counting on violent retribution. They want more violence so they can clamp down even harder. Also all over social media Russian and Chinese bots are working overtime to exploit this murder to get more American citizens to commit more violence so it erupts into a little civil war and implodes.

    Just, be smart about your actions knowing all of this context. There's still a whole lot that citizens can do short of violence.

    They can’t clamp down on all of us.

    Pray tell what citizens can do short of violence?

    Every single day is five steps back and, if we're lucky, one step forward - maybe.

    I 100% disagree with peaceful protest and simply voting as a course of action right now. It merely slows the descent, it doesn't stop or fix it.

    Until billionaires and fascists in power fear for their lives or cease to exist, absolutely nothing will change. That is an undeniable fact.
