I think it’s also important to realize that there’s a difference between being hurt and being wronged. Sometimes someone can do something that hurts you but isn’t wrong, morally, ethically, or legally. It might even be the right thing (ie, breaking up a relationship if it just isn’t working out). It might hurt you, but it didn’t wrong you. And then some people wrong you, such as committing crimes against you, being abusive, or shitty to you, and that’s not ok.
I don’t think there’s a lot of doubt anymore that they interfered with the last few elections in some way, the only real argument is whether it actually mattered. But they’re testing the bounds of what they can get away with and building their own army of hired thugs and I definitely believe they plan to use it to interfere with voting, opposing politicians, and anyone else they don’t like or who stands in their way. If this isn’t put to a hard stop very soon Minneapolis is going to be written about in history books as the very beginning of a period of violence and evil, instead of the middle of it.
They’re putting far too much money into all of this to stop with immigrants. If anyone thinks they’re going to deport the immigrants and go “well that’s it boys, good job, close 'er up and you’re all unemployed now, thanks for your hard work” they’re deluded, but then again it feels like a lot of people have happily been deluded for years anyway.
I work in EMS. When we respond to house fires in the middle of the night there’s kind of two different ways they go. When people have smoke detectors and their house catches on fire in the middle of the night they’re the ones who call us and we get on scene to find them outside their home in their pajamas, watching their house burn, very shaken up but ok. They never need anything from us ambulance-wise except maybe some blankets. When people don’t have smoke detectors in their homes and they catch on fire in the middle of the night a neighbor or passer-by calls the fire in and we get on scene and the firefighters are dragging bodies out to us.
