I think journalism’s wider reckoning on this front stems from: white middle class people in “extremist groups” are generally covered by political reporters. Black and Latino people in “gangs” are generally covered by crime reporters.

Some people aren’t who they were when this started 53 days, there’s still fear, but protestors tell each to “walk don’t run” from tear gas. Spirits return faster, minutes after tear gas clears, everyday seemingly less afraid to stand up to against the threat of force

Among the “epic”predictions in this thread are a civil war in the U.S., the collapse of Europe, a war between a fourth reich in Germany and France, the election of Elon musk as president after the end of the civil war(in which the GOP is in control) It’s unhinged.
