    It’s literally the playbook from Bush’s “Shock and Awe” campaign turned on US citizens (minus the indiscriminate bombing).

    So far. I do not doubt that we are looking down the barrel of a return to the days when American citizens were bombed by their own government as they did in 1921 and 1985.

      Oh yeah, the violence will come. After they’ve sufficiently shocked everyone into submission. The violence is to perpetuate the submission since shock wears off.
