    Either the National Guard backs up local law enforcement to arrest ICE agents, or they target protesters and let ICE run rampant

    The fact Walz hasn’t called for arresting ICE agents means he’s siccing the National Guard on the protests

      Yeah. That’s what the national guard did during the BLM protests. They were marching down neighborhood streets lighting up anyone who opened the door.

      What the fuck world do people live in where they think any part of the military/police will suddenly turn around and protect them?

      When they see the NG that Walz called in turn their guns on protesters to protect ICE, are finally gonna see the fucking shift in national awareness? Maybe that they’ve been forcefully mainlined fascist propaganda from every direction their entire lives?

        I think this moment is new, we got normies out there fedposting en masse over this state murder

        The Trump Reich is pushing too hard and the dems are caving to easily, it’s unravelling an already partly unravelled Kayfabe

        We could see some promising developments emerge in terms of mass radicalization

          The radlibs in Sam Seder’s comment section are fedposting like crazy. These people were stanning Tim Walz last year and now they’re calling for every ICE agent to be hanged in the town square.

          They did the same in the summer of '20. The big difference is this is happening in the middle of winter I suppose, which could indicate things will only get wilder since it’s easier to participate when you aren’t at risk of freezing to death. On the other hand there’s also a bunch that’s different, so who’s to say. I still get 2020 vibes, though that only ended with the election, so… Its a big I dunno. I’m just jaded

        some cops would follow orders, but the democrats in charge aren’t going to give the order.
