@arclight @inthehands I’ve read this book also and I strongly second this recommendation. Sometimes you can’t make a situation better, but you can certainly make it worse. Never interrupt your enemy when they’re busy making a mistake, and this big sloppy plan to get some redneck patsy killed is a mistake.

@inthehands Simply wait. The high school dropouts being recruited from West Bumfuck KY with the 10x Walmart wages and then dropped into the middle of the biggest city they’ve ever seen are being deliberately kettled by their own employer to make them go crazy. The game plan is one of them eventually shoots up a daycare and gets greased by the enraged parents, who will then get paraded on Fox News as an unstoppable angry mob, justifying the Insurrection Act and ending the need for further elections. That game plan isn’t working because the citizens of Minnesota are doing the right things. It may feel ineffectual but the alternatives are all worse, and eventually the citizens win. The battle here is for Minnesota, not national politics as a whole.
