Trump is absolutely hoping that one of these guys shoots somebody, then there are protests with vandalism, which can then become the excuse for the REALLY violent crackdown. I wrote about this the other day: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/trump-want...

If they are not let in, in the first place, it can’t escalate.

Prisoners dilema, react and you justify trump, Do nothing and you "normalize" trumps actions.

General strike. Stay home. 30+ days. If anyone thinks this is expensive, wait until you learn what Trump has in mind for you. Resist now. While you can. Stock your pantry. Do it this week, don’t wait.

I’ve been saying for months that he’s pushing us to violence. Peaceful protests go only so far. Now that he’s instituted a full-on authoritarian police state, it’s only a matter of time.

I totally agree with you. He is a violent man who wants more violence to justify his violence. I have no other way of seeing the situation.

Yes. I agree. I think LA disappointed him mightily. I don’t foresee DC falling for the bait, either. 🤞

you don't foresee DC falling for the bait either after LA disappointed him? (apologies in advance) In that case you light the fire

An American will stand up. Face facts, we will do more and will shoot more.

The point is to end elections. He's already removed the means for understanding the job market, weather, epidemics, and working on knowledge of the state of the economy. Americans adrift in an environment of assumptions and ignorance.

Activists seem to have better instincts than I expected. They knew to avoid J6. They know not to take the bait now.

Congressional cult republicans are desperate in my view.

Trump is definitely hoping for a shooting, whether real or a false flag.

Violence will open the door for martial law and a “suspension” of the midterm elections.

I feel like diplomatic immunity isn’t being talked about enough, here. There is potential for an international incident.
