This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.
Read all of it. He wrecks them:

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach.
Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state.
Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy.
And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

Completely bizarre to hear tv talk about sending in the military and then you see the actual pics of the protests and people are buying hot dogs and line dancing while the Nat Guard looks on in silent envy.
