1) Nothing. 2) Realize it's a provocation, and respond intelligently. Getting black Americans to riot, loot, and burn down buildings is *Trump's re-election strategy.* Trump, white supremacists, and Russia are counting on black people to riot in response.

They think they just have to pull your puppet strings and you'll dance to their tune. Voilà, cities go up in flames--and Trump wins. The second Trump term will be far worse than the first. He will understand being reelected to mean, "You can do anything now."

One of the things he'll do is make life feel very cozy and safe for his tremulous and quivering base. His base is terrified by the very sight of you. You know that. So if you don't want a second Trump term, don't play his game--which is also Russia's game, by the way.

So no matter what the provocation, do *nothing* that could be turned into a Trump propaganda commercial. Don't do it, first, because arson, looting, and rioting are wrong.

(If
@nhannahjones says she's proud to call these "1619 riots," or if *anyone* tells you the violence is somehow justified by the enormity of the crime, tell them to go fuck right off. Justified or not--and it is not--riots will get Trump re-elected.)Näytä tämä ketju -
And you, if you are black, will be the first order of business for Trump's "Law and Order" Korps. My next piece of advice is for the white kids playing dress-up Antifa games.

Go home. You're playing a game you do not understand, and you will lose. In fact, if you understood this game, you would already know this.

If you think you're being an "ally" to black people by toppling statues, covering them in graffiti, mobbing people as they eat their dinner, doxing them, getting into brawls, or dragging out guillotines in front of Jeff Bezos house, you could not be more delusional.

You aren't fighting fascism. You're enabling it. You're giving Trump a gift so amazing he can't believe his eyes. You are objective allies of Trump. And you know who *won't* be the first to pay the price for that? You. You're just aimless, disgruntled, violent white kids--

--playing with thuggishness and matches for kicks and telling yourself you're fighting fascists, which makes it all sound noble. But it's not. You're just starring in "Trump reelection campaign commercials," which is about as ignoble as it gets.

If Trump's re-elected because of your moronic hijinks, you'll probably be fine. At first. But your "allies" won't be. And ultimately, none of us will be. So stop being so fucking childish and selfish.

Get off the streets. Don't mob senators. Don't mob people eating dinner. Don't scream hysterically at people. Don't dox anyone. Don't threaten anyone. Don't commit violence. Leave the Portland Courthouse alone. Just go home. And vote.
