    This is what the “don’t react” people don’t understand.

    If he’s gonna declare martial law and take over blue states to cancel their elections; it doesn’t matter if we react or not, they’re doing it anyways.

    ICE is murdering people left and right, and trump is using the fact that protesters are being shot and killed as justification.

    People think MLK strategy alone will work, but he was very vocal that it wouldn’t have without Malcolm making the only other option violence. Passisive resistance doesn’t work when the other option for the abusuers is “just keep abusing me bro, it’s cool”.

    Passive resistance only works when the only two options are:

    1. Shit gets better peacefully

    2. Shit gets better violently

    We can’t let them the have the option of:

    1. Shit stays the same
