They always push it too far.
Who you gonna believe, the bloviations of those who were not there or the camera footage you can see with your own two eyes?
Then again, for years now we've been told what we see is not true, like with January 6th... It was a peaceful demonstration, don't you know?
Now the reason I'm bothering to write at all, enduring the wrath of the Trumpers, who will still support the man and his policies even if he starts World War III, is that unforeseen trigger points happen. And the consequences are...
George Conway switches parties and runs for Congress as a Democrat. As if the system can be changed from within, by the same Democrats who refuse to release their investigation of their 2024 loss because it might look bad...yup, it most certainly does, it's another cover-up, refusal to shed light on the truth that has caused the party to shed members and lose elections. Who can you trust? Seemingly nobody.
As for ICE... They stopped immigration, something that Democrats said couldn't be done. Kudos. Can't they stop there? No, this is the essence of the Trump position, we're going to make you pay, we're going to stick it to you for all the perceived hurt you've imparted upon us. I mean I thought the president was supposed to be on our side, president of all the people...but Trump doesn't even bother to pay lip service to that.
So, are you afraid of retribution?
Many Americans are. If you didn't accept the party line on Charlie Kirk, if you expressed your opinion, in many cases, you lost your job. There have been consequences time and again for those who didn't hew to the Trump party line.
But getting shot in the street..?
What was the big risk here? National security? You've got one woman in her Honda...even if she was doing what Kristi Noem and the rest of the administration out of "1984" say she was doing, as in intentionally blocking ICE, should her life be at risk? I mean these poorly trained doofuses hiding behind masks are so trigger happy... Then again, Kyle Rittenhouse is a right wing hero! I mean if you die, that's it... Doesn't matter which party you belong to, you've been written out of the script.
So how pissed will people become?
Well, there are protests already. Will they spread? I mean it's not like ICE is centralized, it's everywhere. Isn't law enforcement supposed to keep the peace? Aren't they supposed to be ridding us of illegal criminals? Like this woman in her Honda?
I don't know what the end result of today's killing will be, whether there will be a national conflagration or...
It will just be one more of the endless events that come across the transom seemingly every day, illustrating what it must have been like living in Nazi Germany... These actions are taking place in plain sight, you'd think someone would stop them... But no one, not the press, not Congress, in most cases not even the Supreme Court is willing to put up a barrier and say NO MAS!
So it comes down to the people, the public. The buck stops with us. What is it going to take for us to stand up for our rights, to change the course of this country? Is this shooting in cold blood in Minneapolis going to do it?
Maybe not. But with Trump consolidating and exercising power willy-nilly not only in our nation, but all over the world, there comes a point where there's going to be a concomitant reaction, people can only take so much.
I mean where was the threat?
What next, I have to stay home for fear of being shot by ICE if I'm out on the street?
You can only push it so far before you trigger the public.
And somehow Trump and his minions, who've lost touch with the average American, don't know this. Is the average American going to be mad as hell and not going to endure it anymore, to the point where they take to the streets?
Don't be surprised if they do.
