    The first to flinch, and resort to serious violence will lose a LOT of public support.

    You mean like the magat nazi terrorist who MURDERED two elected Democrats on Saturday? Or the other terrorist who tried to run over peaceful protestors? Or the one in Utah who tried to commit a mass shooting, causing an innocent bystander to get killed?

    Yea it’s a good thing serious violence hasn’t happened yet.

      Unfortunately, that’s not the type that counts. It’s the government backed/condoned that matters. The sort that even fox news would struggle to spin. The sort that should cause heads to roll within government organisations.

      A few " " “lone wolves” " " can be disavowed, no matter how heinous the act they do. Unless you can tie it unambiguously to the powers that rule.

      It’s a fucking shitty situation, but that’s the rules we are stuck working within. To change them, we have to win. To win, we need to play (mostly) within the rules.

      Fyi, the same could also apply to left wing “lone wolves”. Without the media, it’s harder to spin, but doable. If they happen to meet up and organise at a march, that’s nothing to do with the march. 😇
