    “Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.”

    -misattributed to Mao, but it makes the point

    For the sake of history, its worth noting that it wasn’t the left taking the non-violent options off the table. Just saying. When you see this happen, consider it in the context of something like the war in Iran. When the administration does things like this, they do so without a plan and without consideration for the consequences.

      Honestly, that is one of the few saving graces of the entire situation. It will make it much easier for genuine resistance to succeed, if only because these evil bastards are innately clumsy.
