    That’s an Onion article. You can tell because Trump hasn’t been shooting protesters for months already. That’s what comes next. And that’s when it stops being a protest, and turns into a civil war.

    Don’t be so eager to make that happen.

          There’s a marginal difference. “Less lethal” rounds are still lethal when they’re fired directly at people, particularly if the wounded are denied medical attention and are subjected to further police violence after they’ve been injured.

          All it takes is a single police officer to put on plain clothes and to throw a brick. They do that on the regular, let’s stop this “don’t do ANYTHING disruptive or could be considered violent! It will escalate!” Nonsense

            So, by that logic, protesters should use violence? Is that what you’re saying? I mean, if the police are already going to frame them, then we should just give them what they want, and turn this into an all out massacre?

            Man, you guys are trying so hard to start a civil war. it’s pretty transparent at this point, who you’re working for.

              The expectation that nothing should happen is a fever dream. All your worry is for nothing, what happens will happen, and the only thing you can do is what you can do. If it comes to civil war, that was a decision made by those in power, and is seeming inevitable at this point.

                Nothing you just said, even makes sense. Did that sound profound to you? Because it isn’t. Wishing for war, is an idiots “fever dream”.

                “…what happens will happen”, is bullshit. We either make it happen or we don’t. Blaming the people in power for our actions is no different than them blaming us for theirs. The entire point is to not do exactly what they want us to, like sheep being led to slaughter.

        If you’ve already decided that you want a civil war, then Trump doesn’t need to find an excuse. You’re going to force his hand. And any possibility that those soldiers might be on your side, disappears.
