They are struggling to control L.A.

How are they going to control 350 million people across 50 states?

And by that I mean - Heritage, Fox, the Federalist Society, Bannon and so on. All of these assholes need to be rooted out and arrested immediately.

Better yet, protest peacefully with peaceful protestors, and return to tell the tale,

How many more dystopian ideas do you want me to toss around?

Trump&Enablers are running things on the basis of Catch Me if You Can, and Just Try to Stop Me. Also what Muskrat said: Move Fast & Break Things. They don’t give a damn about the law — any law at all.

The myth that Trump is omnipotent, and the states and the people are powerless.

Indeed, this administration has committed heinous acts with impunity, but with the exception of the Garcia case, have not defied any court rulings or orders.

Lets see what this week brings.

Trump said recently that he plans on doing this in all states/cities/all of America. That is probably what his "birthday" military plans are; to usher in martial law anyhow.

It doesn't matter what protesters do. He plans on doing it anyway.

Don't let MAGA win the PsyOps war.

You are right. They cannot control all 350 million people. This is the end of democracy if we don't find a way to win. Protest loudly while we still can.

And Project 2025 needs to go straight in the shredder. These fuckers are pure evil and are acting with extremely hostile intent!

When the protesters immediately sit down at the first hint of police violence, it exposes the perpetrators. They're the only ones standing, so it's pretty clear who is creating the situation.

When you stand and hold big protest signs, it obscures the crimes being committed.

The problem is that sitting requires a lot of discipline. Not sure if people can follow through with that.

If you have folks coming in from all directions to join the protest, many may not be aware of these tactics. Legitimate protestors could be mistakenly fingered as perpetrators.

those who will be doing our duty to assemble please be careful. And stick to the precautions. There have been multiple threads here today with how to conduct ourselves during a protest.

One thing was to sit down with your signs and let those who are conducting violent acts be seen by the police.

Remember during the George Floyd protests there were many outside agitators who WERE committing violent acts.

Please be safe and do not let them stop you.

at the time they want it, and in the manner they see fit.

I don't think the actions or reactions of protestors in the here and now will affect any measurable changes to a script written and signed off on months ago.

Trump will get all the violence he wants, because his goons will create it.
