The whole point of the government shutdown was to start riots. The Republicans wanted to take healthcare from millions. The Democrats stopped them, but the cost was SNAP (food stamps) benefits. The Republicans were willing to starve their voting base to push the healthcare cuts — either would likely result in riots. Now it’s literally attacking Americans. The goal is to push martial law and suspend elections. That is the whole point.
And with a minimum of three more years of this, they will eventually get what they want. There is no way that this administration ends without the US military acting against domestic Americans, at some point. It is going to happen.
As much as I’m tempted to play the accellerationist and demand that we give them what they’re asking for, I know that we can’t rip off the bandaid like that. Americans are not yet mentally prepared to take up arms against their government. The government will strike first, after they exhaust all attempts to get the people to make the first move. Trump needs martial law or some equivalent immunity before his time in the Oval Office is up.
Our best bet might be that Trump dies of a blood clot, Vance is too unlikable to hold the tenuous fascist truces together, and the momentum falls apart.
They already have. They executed a woman on the streets because she saw too much, or they thought she did. She didn’t do anything wrong, but they decided that she needed to die rather than be allowed to leave peacefully, as she was trying to do. She was a white woman, not an immigrant. (She was also gay, but they probably didn’t know that at the time.) And they still executed her right then and there on the spot.

We know. But more people should.
