they will keep pushing people and pushing them and pushing them, until there is an actual uprising (not these protests that trump is calling "rebellion," but real sustained violence), which is what the fascists want: an excuse to switch to live ammunition. then it will be curfews, "papers please" checkpoints, and massacres

if you're skeptical, just look at some history, and try to find a reason why this won't be the case

keep yourself and your family safe

If you look at history, you'll see the same thing happens whether you resist or not.

But you could also look at the war in Ukraine as a more recent example.

If no resistance happens, they'll make up imaginary resistance anyway.
