Indeed. Of course this being America, it’s entirely possible that the riots will help mobilize more Trumpists, but it would be deeply ironic since Trump bears much of the responsibility for them. He’s emboldened the fascists and bigots in police departments the same way he’s emboldened a minority of them in Customs & Border Protection, ICE, and throughout the government where he’s installed his corrupt and zealous cronies. Quite a few other recent presidents have been divisive, but Trump, as with everything else he does, is so insane and completely over the top that he seems to be literally laying the groundwork for another civil war. And if that helps him stay in power (and out of jail), you can damn well bet he’ll be all for it.
