The crackdown that JD Vance and Stephen Miller are planning is not the result of anything that radicals or leftists did. Protestations of innocence and statistics about who is more violent are beside the point. They have been planning a crackdown regardless. It's part of their playbook.
If the crackdown takes place, it will not happen because of what we did, but because of what we *did not do.* But there's still time to act.
