If we add in the already obvious other premises: They are already killing peaceful protestors (i.e. being definitely safe is off the table) and, unsurprisingly, they don't care what peaceful protestors have to say, then the logical conclusion of what this liberal is saying is that the American people should be building an insurgent army to oppose ICE and company. I'm kind of curious what they would say to evade that conclusion.

Not especially important, but it's amazing how liberals will talk about the authoritarianism of countless other countries that America needs to bomb but then say (falsely!) that America is totally unique in the world in that it has the most violent repression of protests. America's pretty bad, don't get me wrong, but several countries (mostly ones America has fucked over and backs reactionary governments in) have it worse. Do they genuinely believe that protestors are safer in Palestine or Syria? Fuck, this person (again falsely) would in other contexts probably say that repression is more lethal in China!

Do they genuinely believe that protestors are safer in Palestine or Syria?

Libs are still going on about "Do you condom Hummus?" so they agree protesters should be shot for trying to "genocide Israel."

But yeah. People in Palestine, Venezuela, and so on are living in worse conditions than the US with far more risk. The things Americans are afraid of happening here already happen in other places. The people still manage to organize resistance efforts, often against the violence of the US military.
