      Not in a way that matters, no. The shit they’re responding to was in no way part of an organized left resistance. There’s like protests sometimes, usually 90% libs

        Nah, things like the Palestinian protests, the encampments in the universities, the push back against ICE in places like LA, those have all been spear headed by the organized left in this country. They’re small, but they exist, and they’ve been growing as the Dems let people down and the number of crises continue to exist. Which means they need to be stomped out so no one can join them as they ramp up the fascism and liberalism let’s people down.

          The interesting thing to see is if it will actually work. In my experience, any chilling effect is nullified by the fact that we were correct and the libs that care are not trained to ever shut the hell up about anything. It will take a serious, dedicated, crackdown to actually stomp out these kinds of radicalized libs from joining these organizations, if anything this gives them more national prominence than they ever had before.

          That said, these people also are not trained cadres, and likely just add more chaos into the mix, plus fed infiltration. Curse of interesting times indeed.

          At least the Dems are proving their fecklessness at every turn here.

        It would be very funny if they started rolling out the stormtroopers for the “No Kings” libfests.
