    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.

        That’s not what they said.

        They’re just pointing out that Trump will be everage the situation and enact an even more fascist agenda.

        That’s not saying the left shouldn’t do anything, rather just be prepared for the consequences.
