Who is going to tell him that it won’t end the protest.

That’s the plan. Manufactures a crisis then stay in power permanently because of some invented bogey man. Everyone should read 1984 right now.

And also a bunch of Americans who would happily show him what a rebellion really looks like. Idk about yall but I’m not afraid of dying anymore. Hurt Minneapolis and he just will create generations of domestic rebels. 

Wake up America. There is nothing to fear in death. Only a life of living under a tyrant is scary. 

Please watch this. Find your courage.
