Roughly what happened:
- A few days ago, Bovino promised something big
- ICE was being brutal, but not stopping the protests or the hunger strike inside the concentration camps
- Bovino sent in the Proud Boys, but the protesters ran them off
- Gov. Sherrill sent in the state police, who attacked the protesters, including those in “free speech zones”
Occam’s razor says it’s because of class solidarity among the elite. If they think standing up to fascists is unpopular, then it’s because they are only thinking of what’s popular with those who have power. But they trained as well to expect incompetence from the whole lot.
