Those arrested cried out for Trump to save them. They aren't all that intimidating.
The cities that have felt the brunt of burning and looting tend to be progressive, and the people are typically less armed.
If BLM tried this sort of thing in Kennesaw, Georgia, they'd be dealt with swiftly.
But yes, intimidating many deep blue cities with violence probably will work. It just won't work in redder areas.
It's working everywhere. Granted it will take longer in the extremely racist areas just like integrating the schools did.
You'll scrape up some George Wallace's again but we are going to enact changes.
The people at the Capitol aren't the conservatives I'm talking about. The Q types were pretty gullible.
I'm talking about the 3 percenters, among others. You had a few members of that group there, but most militia members didn't fall for the Q stuff. They recognized it for the psyop that it was. The best armed conservatives don't typically show up for protests unless it's specifically with regard to gun rights, like in Richmond a year or so ago. These are people that usually have significant weapons training and supplies. They don't seek out conflict, but if it comes to them, they're ready.
That being said, your response has some truth to it in that violence can force people to submit, but other people will fight to the death.
If BLM and others like them hope to enact any lasting change, they'll have to burn and loot less. Protesting is fine, but violence is not.
