Because here’s the thing: conservatives are depending on you seeing violence as acts against the person. But to them violence is an act against capital. This is why they call nonviolently shutting down a highway a violent act worthy of fatal retaliation.

This is why they offer to go out in the woods and shoot the people doing tree sits to oppose pipelines. This is why they say things like “Black Lives Splatter.” This is why the militias y’all a bunch of shit about Don’t Tread On Me but always join up with the cops.

You need to start thinking about these questions now. Because if Brett gets confirmed, and by all likelihood he will be, then there’s not a lot of leeway left. The only ways he leaves are if he dies (I am NOT advocating for killing jfc), if he resigns (he won’t), or impeachment.
