"Respectable white people are now keenly aware that the logical conclusion of a decades' worth of anti-immigrant hatred includes murdering white people and they don't like it. They are shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line."

~ John Stoehr

"Those in the media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, who begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit. The border is the crack, the lies are the wedge, and the people who accept those lies are opening it wider."

See also T. Snyder's discussion of these issues in the video linked below.

"It is the crack that can be opened. The wedge is constructed with lies, which begin as cliches and memes that the government pounds into our heads, and which the media repeat, mindlessly or with malice.

One of these cliches is 'law enforcement,' which is uttered over and over like an incantation."

"The aspiring tyrant looks for cracks in the system that can be pried open.
One of these cracks is the border, where the country ends. Because the law ends there, too, an obvious move for the tyrant is to turn the whole country into a border, where no rules apply. ...

The border becomes the pretext to undo the law everywhere, at all times, and against anyone."

Trampling on law and order and authority.

And now THE SAME PEOPLE who clapped and cheered when all that happened want to convince us that a man who was just executed publicly by federal agents deserved his death because he

Brought a gun (which he never touched) to a protest.

Smashed a car light days before he was murdered.

Had his rib broken by masked thugs who pounced on him when he did that.

I'm thinking today of folks bringing guns and other weapons — knives, hockey sticks, flag poles — to a protest.

Then smashing windows, breaking glass (defecating and urinating on floors and on a desk).

Being warned repeatedly by law officials not to climb through a smashed window, and still climbing through that window and being shot.

Defying law and order and authority.

Ignoring law and order and authority.
