        Do you know how many times I’ve heard, “if X happens, it will radicalize the people and they will take to the streets” and then X happens and it doesn’t?

        Because I’ll give you one huge as fuck reminder: the end of Roe v. Wade.

        Women across the country became second-class citizens overnight and it sure didn’t bring about any sort of glorious revolution.

        Expecting Americans to get radicalized by him getting arrested compared to that seems a bit silly to me.
