Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? - Lemmy.World

So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house. Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

They can’t risk it. Too many people could record it so they couldn’t control the narrative.

Hard disagree. Their base will believe anything.

If we set up gas chambers in Florida some people would be insisting they were harmless showers while they were being forced into them.
