Many have observed that Trump . . . is looking to create a pretext for a much harsher crackdown. This makes Saturday’s No Kings protests even more consequential. In the event of any violence, whether from protesters or agent provocateurs, the president will doubtless seize on it to expand his power.

    One guy was running along side the protest lines with a Trump Flag and a flak/stab jacket trying to start shit. One was a live streamer, that was just interviewing people, but thanks to his MAGA hat and having seen him at previous press conferences, I knew what he was trying to do. The last guy was just wandering from group to group saying that we needed to start attacking the unlawful cops. He wasn’t wearing anything obvious, but since there were literally no cops anywhere in sight.

    They might as well have been carrying “I’m a plant,” signs.

      I would’ve probably been the idiot pointing out that that guy was a fed, Subsequently getting his ass beat and accidentally starting a riot

        Not really. We all just kinda pointed and laughed at them. It is amazing to see someone realize that they can’t achieve their goals at the exact same time that they realize they are being laughed at.
