@mwymanMichael Wyman I live in Minneapolis, and no, it is not already here. This is a dangerous misstatement.
Right now, we have a bunch of meatheads who are basically Biff’s sidekicks from Back to the Future running around with tear gas and handguns and a sense of impunity — which is of course •extremely• dangerous. But we do not have tanks in the streets pointing their turrets at protestors. We do not have marines conducting abductions, or fighter jets bombing civilians.
•That• is what the Trump admin wants. They’re trying (and so far failing) to create a context where that can actually happen.
As bad as this is, it can get so so so much worse.
