Here's my lurking concern about this weekend in Tulsa

[misanthrope]

Trump seems to be doing everything he can to incite something ugly in Tulsa, including demanding the curfew be lifted and stirring those on the other side of the political fence from him. I have little doubt facilitators of chaos from across the spectrum want to be in Tulsa tomorrow to stir the pot. That goes double for those with right-wing sensibilities.

There's no scale of violence or destruction that could happen in Tulsa this weekend that would surprise me. This just reeks of autocratic performance and manipulation.

1. Think, perhaps, Reichstag Fire attempt

Since he plays from well known playbooks, that would seem to be in order, about now.

2. He wants his Kristallnacht.

Let us hope that he does not get it.

3. I'm afraid you're correct.

He's doing everything he can to incite something horrible. He's totally unhinged at this point.

[Skittles]

4. he needs a distraction from his own shitshow

yes

[Tipperary]

13. Exactly this. nt

5. I was thinking this has the potential to make Charlottesville look like a garden party.

6. He's no longer even pretending to be a POTUS. No POTUS would act he does.

He's posturing to become dictator.

7. I hope our liberal friends stand down and let this fool ruin himself without "collateral damage".

[misanthrope]

8. It's not the "liberal friends" I'm thinking about

Agents provocateur and those with malicious intent will be looking to sow discord, to give right-wingers something to point to or blame on the left.

[Midnight Writer]

9. If we don't show up, provocateurs have no cover.

[Tumbulu]

10. I think Trump will stage an assassination attempt

To make him appear the martyr.

And give him cover to attack liberals even more.

That’s my prediction.

14. Leave out "attemp" and it's a great plan.

[Thekaspervote]

11. Please please Dems and progressives..stay away!! This is a trap

His goons will use your peaceful protest to maim, burn, loot and then point the finger.
Deny dotard what he wants...stay away and stay safe

[Luz]

15. Yes. I'd like to hear crickets out side his rally. He gets

the deplorables so riled up and ready to fight, I'd love it if no one showed up.
Maybe have the protest sonewhere else.

[Nay]

17. That's how I feel. The strategic thing is to completely stay away. Completely. nt

[Hekate]

12. You are right, I believe

[Talitha]

16. Like the saying goes: "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"

Anti-trumpers should just boycott the rally.

Make it a BIG nothingburger.
