Many have observed that Trump . . . is looking to create a pretext for a much harsher crackdown. This makes Saturday’s No Kings protests even more consequential. In the event of any violence, whether from protesters or agent provocateurs, the president will doubtless seize on it to expand his power.

    Yeah, it’s the same thing as all those articles that came out when that Joker movie did about how there was always the chance that people seeing the movie would be moved to random a acts of violence, and oh wouldn’t that be terrible, and maybe people shouldn’t watch the movie because what if that happened

    Honestly it’s laughable how transparent they were being in trying to encourage violence in order for them to have a real reason to ban the movie.
