It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas.
Republicans are marching National Guard soldiers into the largest cities in America on exaggerated “crime fighting” excuses. They have established an unaccountable militia with ICE hiding their identities and violating the civil rights of American citizens on exaggerated or fabricated drug/violence reasons. They’ve needed no legitimate excuses to do these things, yet they are actively doing them. This changes nothing on that front.
Looking for afar, with an ocean between where I live and where this happened…
It’s not the government you have to be worried about. They are fascists, and they were going to escalate anyway. It’s the mesh of Nazi militias you have, which can decide to go openly ‘hunting’ progressives. Don’t expect Law enforcement to do anything about that (and iirc the groups who were watching those bastards have been dissolved).
If they’re going to do that, they’ll do it anyway manufacturing their own pretext as the have already done with marching the military into cities that don’t like trump and his fascist policies.

I’m more afraid it will accelerate things.
I’m HOPING it will accelerate things.

You’re proving my point. The Nazi militias already started this months ago before yesterday’s kirk death: Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman killed, State Sen. John Hoffman wounded in ‘targeted political violence’
Yeah, that’s right, but I was thinking more about actions conducting to massacres and mass murders. I really want to be wrong about this.

They already don’t… The closest we can expect is cops protecting the roving bands of militias… Which they already do.
