Rulers need the cooperation of the masses. This is all about concocting a chaotic political environment where people are afraid enough that they won’t stop the power grab.
It’s possible it will backfire, and we should be doing everything in our power to try to make that happen, but that’s the overall strategy.
The cooperation of the masses angle is extremely important. As fucked up and idiotic as it is, many people are fully buying into the narrative that she ran him over and deserved it. It’s hard to believe when you’re here on Lemmy, but it’s working on a shocking amount of people, as well as obviously his base. So waiting for an actual event to point to will legitimize it in a massive way.
Yeah it’s too bad we don’t have clearer video. Like if you watch carefully and thoughtfully, it’s pretty obvious what’s happening but if you’re motivated to lie to yourself, the view is just obscured enough that the deception can survive.
Like a lot of longtime BLM people were puzzled that George Floyd was the one to break the dam of public outrage because things like that happen all the time. But the difference is it was documented so clearly, so intimately, that there was simply no possible justification. We may need a moment like that to break through with ICE and unfortunately I’m not sure it will be Renee Good just because we had bad luck with the camera angle.

A dash cam is a good investment for a lot of reasons.
Wouldn’t that footage be in the custody of ICE/FBI right now? Meaning it wouldnt see the light of day most likely.
