      I’m genuinely worried there’s going to be a US Tiananmen Square equivalent at this point. And I don’t just mean the massacre, but the attempts to cover it up as much as possible.

      All while the world just sits back and hums loudly.

      a federal pardon only moves him from a (relatively) safe federal institution out-of-state, back home to minnesota–and a potentially much more hostile environment, to serve out his longer state sentence (and iirc, scotus has already rejected an appeal of state conviction)

      While i do agree that they want riots so they can do shit like martial law and all that, I think they’re underestimating how pissed off everyone is. There’s only so much bullshit they can expect us to put up with in such a short amount of time which I think is the biggest mistake they are making. Their “rapid fire” approach is only accelerating everyone’s anger faster than if they were subtly destroying everything over the course of months.
