You can beat the case, you can't beat the ride

Doesn't even matter if charges are filed, a couple days in jail fucking sucks. And it doesn't just discourage the person in jail. It's a message to every other potential protestor: "this could be you".

But they can't lockup everyone, their strategy only works if it gets protestors reduced to the amount they could imprison.

If they get the opposite reaction and more protestors, it backfires on them.

Yeah but did you read the person's name?

And all his biometric and other data will be part of Palantir for use down the road when they start to claim “biomarkers that signal traitorous citizens” or some shit to round people up

Every time I think about the history of federal involvement in left wing organizing vs right wing organizing in this country, my blood pressure rises about 20%.

I mean, fuck. We inspired and then "rehabilitated" the Nazis. We took a shitton of higher ups and just pardoned them and gave them jobs in gov. Shockingly, the gov has been rather opposed to left wing ideas since.

That same opposition that we went to all of that trouble to get in power in 2020 despite them sucking and predictably failing is still in control of the party as arrogant as ever, shouting down anyone arguing for popular electable candidates. Sabotaging any popular electable candidates that might get in there as with Mandami in New York City.

Without getting real opposition and otherwise real leadership there is no way we will unseat these guys ever. And unseating them for an establishment candidate just prevents things from getting bad at an accelerated rate. Nothing is fixed, things still get worse. Which is why they lose.

the place is on fire

Which is typically when you heed an alarm...

Due process was officially over the line. Before that it was alarm but that was the match and hes just been heaping gasoline on it since.

Don't forget every single person who voted republican in 24!

And who is going to do that? The rest of the world is going to sit idly by as the US marches brown and lgbt+ people into the extermination camps. Hell half of them will use it as justification to build their own camps and invade the other half. All while the world slowly cooks itself.

I’m thinking more like the terror from the French Revolution

Do not hold your breath. By all indications these guys are going to consolidate power and make a one-party stay with rigged elections. We have no opposition popular or muscular or ambitious enough to unseat them. After 2028 it is doubtful any opposition could unseat them.

Wasn't that the Jan 6th hearings? No one got pardoned from Nuremburg. Political pardons aren't even a thing in most countries.

The Nuremberg Trials barely got down to the level that these guys are at. They sorta gave up after a while.

Though Christopher Lee probably took care of a few of them.

be the change you want to see
