    Right but if everyone stays peaceful then the de facto martial law won’t become declared martial law.

    And this is clearly beneficial because of all these benefits of being under de facto martial law instead of declared martial law like

    • hmm
    • well let’s see
    • there should probably be some kind of benefits here

    Not convinced yet? Well you see there’s also a host of benefits you get from quietly obeying and surrendering your rights like

    • getting shot by unaccountable federal officers
    • having your door kicked in for exercising your rights to free speech
    • emboldening the fascists by showing there’s nothing you are willing to do to defend yourself

    If everyone stays peaceful, surely the jackbooted thugs who delight in hurting and killing citizens and immigrants alike will… continue doing that.
