We're now seeing that generalization to everyone.

We're seeing the brutal U.S.

system, legal system, criminal legal system being now deployed against protesters, being deployed against the regime

opponents.

And it is just, public opinion is really not going to go with them.

So they're really making a big daring move here to say we can assassinate, you know, middle-class white people in broad daylight.

We can execute them and still do whatever we want.

And I'm just not, I mean,

You know, we will see.

I think it's really, really unclear what will happen.

But this is not a super competent regime.

And and they've made a big play to just lay down, say, OK, we're just going to execute you.

We're going to declare that you're a terrorist, even if you're a middle class white person who is the treasured element of American society and this white supremacist regime.

And I just you know, I'm not

I'm not seeing a communication strategy.

Fantastic.

The media was completely complicit.

Constant normalization, constant same washing.

Basically, you know, the New York, Bret Stephens, the New York Times published in December column, no more, never Trump.

In October 2020, Ross Douthat published a piece in the New York Times, there will be no Trump coup.
