    Peaceful protests exist because the next step is citizens asking their governments less nicely if their demands are not heard.

      I get that, but I feel this was a false flag.

      I mean, did someone really cut stencils for this?

        Using a stencil means they can leave their mark quickly (with less chance of being stopped), and repeat it in multiple locations just as quickly.

          So be prepared for some insane otherwise blatantly illegal, un-American, anti-democratic, fascist shit? Also known as another day of the trump presidency?

          We have not reached the floor. I don’t see mass daily protests or armed insurrection. Apparently we’re all ok with this so far. When the fascists have pushed so far that people will sacrifice some comfort and safety to do something about it is when we reach the floor. Right now, people are still too comfortable.

          before the blatant power grab, not after it.

          You aint seen nothing yet… Wait for martial law.
