    It’s only a matter of time before they run a false flag and say protesters are responsible for violent acts against law enforcement when it’s coordinated by the admin.

      You say that like they aren’t already trying that crap. The media has been pretty damn happy to take photos and videos of the damage caused by the riot gear-wearing faction and implying it’s caused by rioting protesters.

    Well, yeah, that makes sense if you look at it a little like this: to distract from the possibility that the bromance divorce will devolve into corporate leaders (the government is a corporation) Elon and Donnie taking pot shots at each other using their space lasers trying to turn the other into a smoking greasy splotch on the earth. Or shoot their respective aircraft out of the skies over deep parts of the largest bodies of water. James Bond Supervillain-level stuff here. We’re not meant to see those machinations.
