Late night worried ramblings

[Javaman]

The protests aren’t going to stop anytime soon

First, I want to say, I stand with the protestors

But why aren’t they going to end? Because of the inaction of the orange asshole regarding Covid 19.

How do the two relate?

Many people, including myself, have been in self quarantine for the last 3 months. But I’m lucky I have an “essential job”, but many of the protestors don’t. And I think that provides the perfect situation for people to realize, “I have been out of work now for a while, I’m broke, the nation is run by a racist prick, and I have time”.

And the fuse was lit by a racist cop aka trump proxy

This was all the making by the orange asshole. He insighted the right wing racists which also invites the racists in police depts to ramp up and continue what they have alway done well, look the other way when a racist prick cop kills an innocent person of color.

I have friends that are cops I had two uncles that were cops, but as the saying goes, “if 100 good cops look the other way when the 10 bad cops do something wrong, you have 110 bad cops”

And now it appears as if the right wing nazis are coordinating looting and violence.

We have police, the national guard and now military observers on our streets openly attacking the people of this nation.

Where will it end?

While I like to think this will create a situation when we all will come out of this better and have a time of understanding, I fear to say, I don’t feel that.

I fear this is the orange assholes reischstag moment.

1. yes, the powder keg has been lit big time. Even smaller towns in NC -

Greenville, Wilson - are having protests which start peacefully, then turn to mayhem, chaos, looting, violence...Raleigh, from what the local news live stream is showing, is incredibly tense - the reporters are out there, but seem to have no idea what to expect next and things turn on a dime.

Deep, deep shit - and the orange asshole himself took that shit and dropped it on our country

2. I sure hope that tRUMP, the reTHUGS and cultists are enjoying this moment because it's not

going to last and it's not going to end well for them. History is our guide here...

3. Reichstag operation possible.

Today's Antifa designation as a "terrorist organization" could be their first emergency decree to exploit the protests. I heard somebody on today's TV coverage mention that Trump/Barr would love to have the legal authority to spy on their political "enemies list" and wondered if that's their plan with this designation. I suppose the widespread violence could have been organized privately over the internet by the Proud Boys/QAnon/boogaloos/cultists/"very fine people." https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213517470
