    Using the cold-blooded state jackboots? Where’s the force that would side with protestors strongly enough to go up against ICE?

      If they push hard enough the citizens of MN will engage in asymmetric warfare like every other occupied group. The IRA, Palestinians, Vietnamese, Iraqis, etc. It’s the ultimate way to deal with militarily superior occupying forces. I can see IEDs blowing these federal thugs to the moon.

        Americans are complacent. Part of it is living paycheck to paycheck, and part of it is that the bread and circuses have quite a few psychological tricks and chemical boosts to make them much more addictive than anything the romans could have dreamed of.

        That “push hard” bit will need to be as extreme as the bombing campaign against the vietnamese was in order to get any action.
