    I agree, and I think that OP is trying to say, non-violence such as the no kings protests will be more effective than bloodshed

      I have to say, the size of the No Kings crowds truly surprised me. I knew they’d be big, but these were HUGE!

      HitlerPig is obsessed by ratings, polls, popularity, etc. The size of those crowds, in EVERY major city in America, must have scared the bejeezus out of him. The problem with that is that a shallow thinker like him can only conceive of a few responses, and ferocious violence is probably the first option that comes to his empty mind.

        That’s right! And, adhering to that strategy would be falling right into his hands. Which is what OP is saying.

          Wrong. They need to be afraid of us, and enormous opposition crowds help sell it. It also demonstrates to them that no matter how many troops they deploy, there are MILLIONS of people turning out in EVERY major city. They don’t have nearly enough troops to put down every demonstration.

          It’s always good to make them question their own arrogance.
