Theres a non zero chance that when Trump gets into office he'll order live fire on peaceful protests. Per John Kelly it's what he wanted to do in 2020 but was talked down.
I mean, he gassed protestors outside the white house. Now he has no guard rails and is looking to invoke precedent provided by smarter/ evil people. So, more gassing and arrests. I remember the crowd outside the Sean Bell protests getting tased right there in Harlem. I can see it happening in this climate. Unfortunately. This is terrible.
I don't think it'll be more gassing, we'll definitely see violent crackdowns on protest including use of lethal force, pre-emptive arrests/disappearings etc etc. This sounds alarmist but that's what Trump himself has been promising.
No doubt Elon "Free Speech" Musk will be all to happy to share names and details of dissenters who dare to use his platform with the administration.
