So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.
Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?
risk? risk what? there is evidently no consequence to any of the shit they pull. when you add the idea that the fucks in power are completely divorced from everyday people shit, they got even less of concept of risk vs reward. who’s gonna rebel? who’s gonna rise up?
you got “federal” goons invading states, kidnapping and killing people, commandeering the state’s military, i.e. the national guard and the head of state is like “here’s a tweetdunk”.
