I think he knows it and his callous disregard is also a signal to his base to disregard it. They are normalizing terrorism and political violence, historically these were tactics that were only employed by the U.S. in 3rd world countries it was exploiting or black and brown

neighborhoods domestically but we can see this administration crossing a rubicon, he’s willing to commit violence against white communities who oppose him. It’s a clear sign, once he’s done terrorizing Mexican, latino communities, he will turn that hate toward American communities and citizens.

They already are. Americans should not obey in advance and start organizing to resist, speaking truth back to power and protecting people who can’t protect themselves or are not in the rooms will be paramount. Democracy takes courage to protect, I hope America is up for it.
