They are more emboldened now. If this shit happened under any other president, there would be immediate congressional oversight, impeachment hearings, you name it. But instead, the violence from the federal government gets normalized and the stakes get raised.

Meanwhile, Trump's out there kidnapping elected world leaders and plotting land grabs.

Funny how the 2a defenders use 'tyrannical govt' as their main argument and when one shows up (literally shooting US citizens) they go all quiet like. Almost as if they were full of shit the whole time.
