      That is exactly how we embolden fascism. Madison advocated for a well-regulated militia, not 1-2% of the population throwing cinder blocks and M80s. We needed numbers before allowing them to bait us into escalation.

      Hegseth has the Marines standing by, and the Insurrection Act will be next. This is Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

        They don’t need any actual justifications to “embolden” them, in the absence of actual resistance they’ll just lie to justify doing exactly what they were always planning in doing, this is not s good reason to passively accept anything they’re doing
