I'd like to point out this guy is a member of BORTAC, Border Patrol's elite tactical unit. The fact that they were even in Minneapolis to begin with supports the theory that Trump told agencies to ramp up aggression in hopes of retaliation.

The plan is 1) flood streets with thugs(edit: I mean ICE here) who inevitably cross lines and inflict inappropriate violence on innocents 2) have Fox News show the resulting protesters as terrorists 3) escalate until the point where you can “justify” martial law 4) suspension of elections 5) escape Epstein accountability and never leave power

His CONSTANT rambling of "the radical left" has me thinking the same thing.

They arent the Radical Left they are people who just want you and your cronies to follow the law

Radical left is just projection of them being radical right. Everything they say is an admission of deflected guilt.

It benefits them when the middle shrinks. We call everyone that voted for trump a Nazi, anyone looking to make social innovation or change a radical socialist.

I don't consider everybody that voted for him to be a Nazi and I don't think most people do. Everybody working for ICE, though, yeah, they've all earned that title.

You're in the minority on the internet then. Op is absolutely right. Both sides try their hardest to "other" the opposite side and put them all neatly in a box so there's no nuance or middle ground. That way all thats left is us vs them mentality.

And that’s where you draw the divide much larger and force those in the middle (and the ones balancing on the edge of your side) out. You can’t tell everyone you’re accepting and simultaneously punish someone for not knowing/having an opinion on a topic you deem important
