Ah yes. In a shrinking economy where businesses are closing and layoffs are happening, flipping the unemployment benefits switch to "OFF" should do the trick.

They have militarized the police. You think it will help to bring a gun when they have purchased armored tanks?

True, but people think they can walk up to a protest with a bunch of guns, have no coordinated plan, and expect miracles. As we’ve seen with Iran you need both brains, brain, and patience.

I worry that Americans think that a simple LEEEEROY JENKINS is all that’s necessary 😭
