I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    I think it’s a viable strategy for Trump. Just kill one of the people standing up every time, and pretty soon Americans won’t show up anymore.

    If Americans start shooting back, then you roll in the military and make an example.

    I hate this timeline.

      and pretty soon Americans won’t show up anymore.

      We really should stop showing up. Stop showing up to work. Stop showing up to buy things. Stop showing up to sign up for the military. Stop reproducing.

      That doesn’t really work. If you know history, that is usually the beginning of the end for them. It only breeds hatred and resentment. If they start shooting people then people will actually stand up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case where the authorities shoot a fairly large number of people and the people don’t rise up and fight back. They may not win, but it pretty much always leads to a fight, not just rolling over.
