Precisely. Then a battle can happen and they can say they “uncovered an antifa terror cell, and now we have to have martial law because we told you.”

It’s terribly predictable what they’re attempting. What surprises me is that while people (in general) might be stupid, they also (generally) act reasonably.

So far, “don’t set the gunpowder surrounding us on fire, and work together to clean up this mess” seems to be reasonable.
