octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 day agoI don’t know how much help we can expect from FBI and law enforcement. There was a bill a few years back proposing an investigation to see how deep white supremacy had penetrated law enforcement and the military. EVERY Republican representative voted it down.

We can expect zero. The FBI has a long history of suppressing the civil rights movement and other progressive causes.

Yes but this is not a move to increase civil rights within a still recognisable political system it seems to be the openly declared transition from a democracy to something else via an explorative but expanding coup that is being actively ignored by the sitting powers and wider population.

Democracy was always a roadblock to the FBI’s goals of suppressing people anyway.
