    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.
