I wonder if there is something going on or behind the scenes that we don't know about.

I just go there because the kinds of actions you might expect to be taken are not. The kinds of enforcement we would expect don't seem to be executed.

I can't see this as just enabling, so maybe there is an subplot here that isn't obvious? It makes me feel very outsider in that sense, or that my expectations are unfounded. I am just speaking about it generally.

So they could make a spectacle out of it. Instead, they're treated like children and sent away as fools. Much more effective.

Jane Fonda arrest is not related, and, btw, she intended that, also.

So, I see this as a false equivalence, IMO

I suspect they intend to establish a blueprint for mass protesting by the deplorables.
