    Does that really matter? He can just say that the protests are violent, Fox News will report on the violence, and his cultists will believe it. Hell, they already believe that protest itself is a punishable offense, as do most American institutions.

      Yes, it does. It will eventually have to be proven in court. That’s why the Alien Enemies Act was considered unjustified use, because the FBI did not support his claim that Venezuela was invading the US by sending violent criminals.

        A right wing militia group started the violence in Minneapolis because the protest crowds weren’t doing it themselves. They torched the PD and cop cars. This was proven in court. Didn’t fucking matter, it was radical anarchists, and that is the narrative to this day. If a right wing group doesn’t do it, will just be a government agent provocateur. If this is proven in court, it won’t matter, it will be violent leftist protest, them antifas again.

          It’s time to start/join a militia. More for getting organized than for fighting.
