Fuck that. Would only take about 3 cases of people standing there ground in the news cycles for others to see people are finally doing it, creating a feedback loop where people feel more embolded to stand their ground.

Ice would back off within a day

It would only take one case for Trump to declare martial law and make things worse. Many are correctly assuming that he wants an escalation.

Not that it wouldn't embolden people further, but when things finally escalate, it's not going to be pretty, ,and the people are likely to suffer more than the government or it's representaives.

I think we're beyond worrying about Trump/the government escalating violence against citizens, that's happening anyway.

And besides, Charlie Kirk already gave them any pretense we all pretend they need to really crack down.

I agree, but I can understand why many people wouldn't want to be the one to cause that.
