    The powerful and their goons seem to have forgotten that sure they can roll up anywhere with an army and overpower protesters, but that’s not going to solve this. It’s just going to start a true resistance.

    There have been few times in history where resistance forces have fought state forces on an open battlefield.

    As seen historically, a typical resistance force will harrass the enemy. Bomb their buildings, stockpiles, and infrastructure. Wait until the state goons are alone, at their homes, at the bar, in a grocery store and then that’s when they kill them.

    All sending the national gaurd in to kill protesters will result in is a true resitance forming.

    The powerful have forgotten what it was like to be afraid to leave their fortresses

      I hope a true resistance is born of this. We need to band together and rise up!

        Only useful if you know when and where someone will be. Obviously heightens surveillance capabilities, but they can’t be everywhere at once

      I hope I’m not giving too much credit for a strategy, npbut it might just be an attempt to provoke a reaction. Either California backs down or they resist and there’s an excuse to take over. Look for a bunch of masked thugs to try to arrest Newsom for “treason”
