I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.
Kind of feel like a lot of politicians, even in Minnesota, are misreading the implications of this moment. I feel like the past three days have been tremendously radicalizing for so many people. I have witnessed it even in my own small communities, it goes beyond just incandescent rage.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

It’s insane that this is what life here has come to. I talked with my kid about going back to school Monday. Told him to be alert, look out for ICE. Stay clear.
Don’t break the law.
But support your friends.
Let people know where danger is. And feel free to tell ICE to fuck off.

The thing about people saying, “Where are the 2A zealots now?” when bringing up the second amendment as a defense against fascist governments is that the 2A zealots all got hired by ICE because the 2A is actually about controlling minority populations and suppressing slave uprisings.
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

NOTE: You should probably rely more on the work of people who study social movements than the dashed-off vibes of a rando with a podcast.
It's very important to understand something about social movements, protest movements, revolutionary movements, etc. They don't make sense. Because humans don't. It's okay for them to not make sense. The demand they make sense is an attempt to frustrate their formation.

If nothing else I appreciate the clarity of “they have bigger guns than we do”. Because that is indeed where we’re at—whoever has the biggest guns can do whatever they want for any reason—and that’s exactly what they want. Stephen Miller literally said as much a few days ago

I’m seeing people get mad at this but it is a problem that any attempts to arrest an ICE officer come with a very real threat of them shooting at the police who try to do it and I think it’s good that Frey is talking about that. I don’t know how to deal with that either!

This, by the way, is one of the places the political push for "public syllabi" goes: Even more people who literally do not understand what they're trying to evaluate almost certainly using LLM's to ask "is this stuff transgender or DEI" & then making administrative decisions based on that output.
1. Texas A&M has banned a philosophy teacher from teaching Plato because it has "gender ideology" in it.
The banning stems from excerpts from Plato’s Aristophanes’ Myth of the Split Humans and Diotima’s Ladder of Love.
