I will be shocked if we make it more than another year without a serious attempt to brand Antifa a domestic terror organization, and if that succeeds in a way that has legal force, then the fact that there is no such organization won't matter. Trump's feds will do what we've watched ICE do with Trend Agua—

They'll break down the door of whoever they wish, argue tattoos or possessions of certain literature or whatever as proof of membership, and then those who survive the raids will find themselves in the most restrictive detention the regime feels secure placing them in. If things follow what I suspect is the likeliest path, we will watch this process ebb and flow over the next several months.

Each spring and summer, protests will grow and peak in the hottest months, with new cities and tactics being attempted regularly by groups constantly reeling from raids that are devastating and terrifying, but, due to the incompetence of an FBI whose investigative capacity has been neutered, fail to really disrupt things.

As the weather cools off, exhausted activists will lick their wounds and make new plans. Scattered acts of disruption carried out by small groups or individual cells will occur year-round. But I expect large-scale demonstrations and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement to follow a pattern not so different from what Afghanistan veterans knew as fighting season.

Hot summers of mass activity, winters of raids and experimentation to scout holes for the next year's offensive. And as time goes on, the energy will build, the tension will build, and, of course, we might find ourselves reaching towards something that explodes in the not-too-distant future, perhaps a year or two down the line.

I apologize for coming back to the David Brooks of it all, but seeing a man who in 2017 wrote that Trump had changed and we really needed to stop stressing out over him, and then wrote a column attacking millennials for their tribalism, call for a general strike is a sign.
