    Damn: it just dawned-on-me:

    The “No Kings” protest is this Saturday, right?

    What if they’re waiting for that, so they can declare martial-law?

    Shit.

      So, either “The Insurrection Act”, or martial-law, or SOME escalation of the rug-pull of civil-rights from the US of A is going to happen this Saturday, I believe.

      & I bet the left’s protesters will be emotionally/psychologically totally blindsided by how deep/cutting/effective it is, since they presume entitlement to status-quo’s protection ( unconsciously: we all do this, but by forcing one’s awareness onto the actual-enemy-action, getting outside one’s filter-bubble/awareness-bubble/perspective-bubble, can mitigate that default-ignorance. It takes work, it is kinda toxic, but being repeatedly-blindsided isn’t competent. )

      Nobody claim, if it happens, that “it was unforseeable”.
