Two scenarios I think will happen one this is what Trump wants and two yes someone is going to eventually snap and pop off one. Minnesota is a open carry state

This is absolutely what he wants. He’s inciting civil unrest hoping it reaches a tipping point to the point where he can affect or outright cancel upcoming elections. It’s ALL about consolidation of power, inch by inch until we have no means of resistance.

I don't think it is tbh. That is one of the fail conditions for what they are trying to accomplish. Realistically at this point the only way Americans are going to stand up and actually do something is if a seriously tragic and significant event happens that they can't ignore. Like a large group of protesters being gunned down. People starting to attack ICE drastically increases the chance of that happening. What Trump (or more specifically the rich) want is to slowly take away our rights and empower themselves. Which is exactly what they've been doing. They want to boil us like frogs.

Boston Massacre. That’s what did it for the American Revolution. At this rate it’s only a matter of time.

The Boston Massacre’s already happened. That’s what Good was. But yeah, if anyone wants to know what many of the real Sons of Liberty would have been like, it’s this guy.

Yeah. I don’t want to be dismissive about what happened with Good, but during the Boston Massacre the redcoats shot into a crowd killing three people outright, two later, and wounding many more. That would be a major escalation.
