Decent, and how are you?

Oh, well, I mean, I'm not sure how you would describe intentional.

It's fully expected, right?

I mean, you can't invade an American city with armed goons, masked goons who have very little training and preparation.

Not that there should be training and preparation for something like this, for this kind of ethnic cleansing that we're seeing.

But it's fully expected.

And of course, they knew this was going to happen.

And it's part of a preparation for for

gearing up, trying to incite resistance.

And then they want to incite resistance to get a big backlash, to perhaps invoke the Insurrection Act, to perhaps close down the midterm elections, to just generally give a sense of anarchy and chaos in the streets, and then give them license to crack down.

Absolutely right, and very accurate insight.

They are behaving like Democrats will never be in power again.

They are behaving like public opinion does not matter.

So they are behaving like they already have their dictatorship on lockdown.

That's the goal, is a dictatorship, a one-party state.

Right now it'll be Trump,

then there'll be some successor struggle.

It'll be the next dictator.

Stephen Miller is very, it's all seems very explicit.

They want to say that Democrats, that anyone who calls them fascists, like you and I do accurately, is a domestic terrorist, is sort of in cahoots with motivating Americans to resistance.
