How much you want to bet Trump's people are paying others to start problems in the protest so they have an excuse to

12. These rumors are upsetting, and when you add them to the recent meetings in Montana

and Trump's repetitive warnings (foreshadowing?) to protesters, one's imagination can produce some genuinely nightmarish scenarios. I don't think Trump's people will just select random people and rabid MAGA fanatics; I'm pretty sure they have their people backstage (Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, various neo-Nazi groups) who are chomping at the bit to do this work and have maybe been fantasizing and training for years.

Malcolm Nance wrote about a similar scenario in his most recent book "They Want to Kill Americans," which I highly recommend.

As I mentioned in another post, Professor Jason Stanley is basically predicting some kind of semi-staged mass casualty event involving law enforcement, although he DID NOT speak specifically about the upcoming weekend's events. He's someone to take seriously who doesn't casually make such predictions.

Trump almost always foreshadows what he's going to do, and his insistent warnings could be another admission, since he can't keep his mouth shut about anything.
