    It’s as if these people don’t remember the riots that happened to earn equality.

      The false narrative that basic rights were earned through “civil debate” has been parroted by right wing talking heads for so long.

      Most people are uninformed, and have an impression that rights just kind of happened via peaceful protests or debates, either due to their own ignorance or learning a very whitewashed version of history.

        And a president who wants to shoot those protestors, and a federal police, answerable to no one, who can definitely do it. I’m giving it a year before we see at least one protest met with overwhelming lethal force.

            expect

            That’s an odd way to spell hope, but you do you. If we didn’t have violent pushback when vans of plain clothes cops were shooting people when the entire reason for protests was a cop killing someone, we’re not going to get violent pushback now.
