      The wealthy class in the US are heavily invested in military stocks. War benefits them, even if it’s civil war. This is probably intentional.

      Maybe I’m too cynical or giving them too much credit. Hope we find out

        I expect more assassins targeting people who are not so high up on the facist totem pole. There was nothing special about Bryan Thompson, there are hundreds like him out in there. But he was high up enough for his death to matter. Honestly, he was like some dumb animal that got zapped climbing into a transformer.

      The working class in America are so docile and subdued at this point that they won’t notice when all this happens.

      Death penalty would take several years to happen and by then people will have forgotten. Only a couple of remaining groupies will make a fuss.

      The only way the current president can hang on for more than four years is to incite insurrection and then activate the insurrection act. All these ‘take it to the streets’ people might as well be shouting jump at a guy being pushed off a building.

      Targeted actions like Luigi don’t pass whatever bar this is, so those are the actions to be protected, promoted, and shielded from the authorities whenever possible.
