I actually think Trump is going to lose big soon. One turning point was the death of Renee Good. Past this point the ICE stormtroopers may kill anyone else too, no matter who that is - just step in front of a car and shoot when the car moves. For serious penalty, all those TechBro cronies need to have all assets seized. They are imcompatible with democracy.

It's not just Renee Good. Unfortunately, this didn't get a lot of attention, but they also threw a flash-bang grenade and tear gas at a car filled with six children. A six month old baby had to get CPR from her mom. Two kids were hospitalized. None of this is acceptable. And their overtly violent behavior has nothing to do with enforcing the law.

  It’s acceptable to a lot of Americans, but because they specifically voted for it. Finally the “right people” are getting hurt. That is how they see it

I do think Trump and the rest of his cronies have way overplayed their hand. They've been ruling like they have 60% public support, when it's nowhere close to that. A lot more damage is still to come, but the pendulum is swinging back. That's why Trump is so scared of the midterms.

There’s no solidarity movement coalescing around Good’s death. When the local police chief invoked “say her name” in a public statement on it, it caused a bunch of acrimony and resentment instead. I think Americans past the point where individual instances of police violence can shock us into taking political action (which is extremely risky in any case). It’s going to take kilodeath crimes, I imagine.

  If nothing changed after Sandy Hook, then nothing was ever gonna change

  > There’s no solidarity movement coalescing around Good’s death This is clearly untrue, and you must be in a bubble if you think this

    I would love to be wrong about this, but alas.
