Never been to a political rally / protest / counter-protest .Even less inclined after reading this,
PPE is never a bad idea.

America is beyond fixing, and beyond redemption.

Yep! While Trump muses about Canada becoming the 51st state, he is blind to the much greater probability of the US breaking up into five or six separate nations.
America is cruising faster and faster towards remember the actual reason they have a second amendment. An unsurprising number of purported second amendment absolutists who would have taken to the streets armed if a fed under a Democrat administration killed a concealed carry U.S. citizen working as a VA nurse have done a rapid pivot to “tread on me harder, daddy”. Turns out a lot of the past quarter century’s paranoid talk about “the feds” is actually not at all contingent on the said feds’ behaviour, but rather who it’s carried out against.
There are a lot of armed liberals in America, and the discussion of arming themselves is becoming more frequent and open.
Dangerous times.

Sounds like something in our interest. Working with the Republics of New York, California and Minnesota for example sounds much more amenable.
I think this frame grab is developing into one of those “iconic photos of our times”.
By this point the officer holding the gun had watched his colleague remove the victim’s gun from his holster and move away with it. This photo was just as he was beginning to shoot.
With the slowed down versions the best count I’ve got is ten shots. Not sure how many officers fired. There’s a distinct possibility based on some analysis I’ve seen that the first shot was an ND of the victim’s own gun by the officer who had removed it from the holster and was walking away. Too bad the feds abandoned the perimeter and collapsed the crime scene before state investigators could thoroughly examine it.

Similar photos have caused great upheaval in the States in the past.
Exactly one that came to mind for me.

But the end of the summer. Certainly before mid term elections there will be a national fracture. There’s no way they are going to peacefully co-exist anymore.

From 2021. I wonder how much sentiment has changed since then:
47% of West Coast Dems, 66% of Southern Republicans Want to Secede
Support for secession has been rising dramatically among Republicans in the South, jumping 16 percent in only five months.

It's been interesting watching some MAGA/2A people online say that it's okay to shoot him for simply bringing a firearm to a protest and resisting arrest despite never touching said firearm.
