Anyway, the city is terrified of the wildly clear, widespread opposition to Cop City. This is just another tool in their toolbox, along with mass domestic terrorism charges and attempted manufactured consent via willing media outlets etc. People can see it for what it is
There’s smoke from more unprecedented wildfires in Atlanta today and the heat index is supposed to be over 100 degrees this week. Yet city leaders think that we shouldn’t get a say in $67 million+ public dollars going to cut down trees and pollute a river and fund more violence

Just your average everyday story of forgotten Americans (wealthy MAGA J6ers) moving to a small town to live out the american dream: endlessly terrorizing their beloved gay neighbors

This is always where it was headed. No eliminationist project stops at wedge issues or just at taking healthcare away from children alone.
It's why there's no reasoning or pacifying fascists because they're not looking for compromise
