Maybe one day we get another Trump and he or she (Boebert or MTG anyone?). And maybe one day he or she orders "military training exercises" along the Mexican border.... and the next thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire and we're bombing the shit out of olllllld mexico city.
I see a few million of us being okay with it because after all, it's where the illegals all come from y'know and they're taking over and whatnot.
Would millions of us not start protesting in the streets 24/7?
Simply put, there's no way the US government could contain or put down the protests with mass arrests and intimidation because remember, we do have the means and the mandate to shoot back.
To my point (not the one on my head)- If we didn't have massive uncontainable protests, then that would mean we have ratified/validated our government's deadly and grotesque aggression on a neighbor state by proxy. I know that there have been protests and arrests in Russia, but come on. I have to believe that if the people were really on the side of what is right, they would all be out there storming the Kremlin.

They aren’t armed like many of us are. And, quite frankly, they’re probably terrified. I don’t believe a lot of them are aware of what is really happening. The Soviets are the best at misinformation. (See the 2016 and 2020 elections).

Unfortunately, Russia controls all the media - from what I've been reading, all Russians see is that Ukraine is full of neo-nazis. Russia has gone in to help the government restore order, and in return the West is pissed because THEY were trying to take over Ukraine - we all must hold fast to protect Mother Russia. Very little actual news is getting through to ordinary Russians.
And that should scare the shit out of us, cause what news gets through to 'ordinary' Americans? You know, the rural white folk in the 'heartland'. Most of them think the Democrats are Satan, and are after their jobs and their womenfolk. Not good for any of us.

I see the party in control being 80% supported by their affiliate and 0% from the opposite affiliate. The could be true with the information funneled at the time.
I'm not hearing a whole lot of criticism directed at the POTUS from the usual suspects lately. So there could be unification though I fear it can only come if preceded by a large flash that you should not look directly at.
