          Yeah, that’s why their government as a whole has shifted to the right. The American government wants riots, so they can send in the military and take control of states. The only thing insulating Americans from the federal government is that the states have some modicum of control. The feds are going around it with ICE, but ICE has a limited purpose. If rioting happens, the national guard has a much broader purpose. That needs to be avoided, at least til after election time. The votes need to happen.

      Well yes, it’s easier to have solidarity with smaller numbers.

      It’s more likely for Californians and Texans to fight that Parisians and those from Versailles.
