Blowback has no meaning to them anymore except as a signal that they might get their goal of a violent response that will allow them to create martial law throughout the country .

This is Fascism 101.

Join any protest you can, call your reps and tell them to use any means at their disposal to shut down ICE and shut down foreign military crap. Tell them this is a break the glass moment. Because it is.

We are headed toward a dictatorship, but not just a dictatorship. Our proposed dictator is a madman.
