Some of the key institutions and accessories of the fascist order, like Palantir and DHS, are experiencing significant internal turbulence bordering on open revolt. The media isn't going to connect the dots necessarily — they go to great lengths to portray stability and acquiescence — but it's safe to say every branch of the U.S. military, the DoD, numerous police departments, intelligence careerists, and even Big Tech's workforce are experiencing some level of dissent. Many employees, civil servants, and other officials do not want to be part of Trump's Secret Police murdering people for expressing their rights. Trump pushed our system until it buckled. Now that it's cracked it's more vulnerable to a major breach.
[From Comments] There is a lot at play, with him being a white man, working with very ill and dying veterans, and that he was legally armed. You never know what it does it for individuals to be activated or moved. I've heard and read reports of being being moved to participate in Minnesota, the reasons vary but are very specific. Ultimately, these govt violent crackdowns tend to provoke massive public pushbacks in almost all instances. In every place, throughout time. Why the Trump team thought this time would be different I think speaks to how high they are on their own supply. The Quickest Reich is what I'm going to start calling them. It's unwinding now, the public execution of it all was the lowest this country has gone for white people in a long long time. Trump is back pedaling now, but the rupture might be too severe. People demand investigations. Black people have suffered this treatment for centuries, as have Indigenous groups, but the public broad daylight execution of a regular white man has shaken this nation to its core. I don't think the reverberations are close to done.
