What happened today with ICE was a forgone conclusion and will happen again.

I'm not trying to minimize it at all and I'm not trying to demoralize anyone but deploying lightly trained or even untrained federal goons on the populace with an idiot for a president egging them on makes this inevitable. Since they are not going to cease their actions the resulting blow-back will grow as well, peaceful and otherwise.

on the murderous violence.

I expect that they will start killing more people, just to prove that they can.

And because Krusty Gnome selected for the most violent people she could recruit.

I don't think any of them care anymore.

I suspect they plan to ensure that only the states they want to count in future elections. There was a thread about that earlier today.
