Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

There are people who did and do accept that idea though. And it's a problem we are going to have to confront at some point

Something they understand is that there is a certain power in the appearance of inevitability, of seeming like you are unstoppable. They flood every space they inhabit with their vile hooting and cheering, hoping it convinces more people to resign their humanity and join "the winning team"

they spend all day on Twitter posting this and all of the site is meant to make you think this exactly. Then you look at people on the streets and realize it's all fake online

or at least stand back and cower. Minneapolis refused to do that
