    Not OP but for your second bullet, the idea is that we’re getting the insurrection act or martial law pretty much no matter what because trump wants it and is looking for any excuse.

    So, if it’s going to happen anyway, why not do it on our terms?

      This is a very scary place to be in. Do whatever you can to keep everyone around you as safe as you can. I can’t offer anything but my hope that things will get better, I’m sorry, because that means next to nothing.

      I’m watching, and the rest of the world is watching. What’s happening is not right.

      That’s a pretty important point, I think, thank-you.

      • If Trump can enact the insurrection act if there’s violence… then he will encourage violence
      • I’m worried that outside actors would easily decide to do this, and this shouldn’t be a decision made by non-americans.
      • I deeply hope that the united states maintains its presence (it is a beacon)
