Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?
There would be more violence. These thugs in riot gear want an excuse to slaughter people en-mass.
There would be violence, more or less.
My guess is: ICE shoots first (either because of their regular activities or trying to incite a larger riot), the protesters shoot at them, the media shows it as a national tragedy between a rebellious, anti-American group of traitors and the honorable Burger brownshirts and the prez drops the military there and in nearby areas, imposes curfews, etc etc and further restrictions on freedom that, if they trigger a larger conflict, the people would never win because they’d be fighting the American empire’s forces. If it happens, other cities would lower their heads, and America would continue its path into a slave base country. Maybe?
Most times the US military has gone up against the general population of a society, the US military has lost.
Then let’s hope that from a post civil war America something good can still grow, then. 👍
This is my big hope. That this fall is so deep that it is burned into our DNA. That a more humane species of mankind emerges from the ashes.
Have you read God Emperor of Dune? 😁
Why yes I have!
