    It seems naive to think trump losing prevents a repeat of what happened last time Trump lost…

    It’s a very real and very serious threat.

    And there’s zero reason to act like it just won’t happen again

        While true, even politicians with a D by their name have shown time and time again that they treat fascists with kids gloves and progressives with police batons…

        Last time they didn’t really bring guns. Next time they’re pulling out all the stops, it’s naive to think they learned any lesson from 2020 except “we need more guns”.

        We need National Guard in full kit at the next one. But I’d bet a lot of money the next just has cops in riot gear at the most. Unfortunately I think we’ll just have cops in regular uniforms.

        It’s a real life problem that there’s this much discrepancy in how cops treat people protesting a genocide and how they treat fascists actively committing a coup.

        Have you heard any politician point out that descripency out besides the handful of progressives?
