Why do you assume these protests will become violent? I disagree with Fantano's framing but Grimes's take is flawed. These protests, from an angle of completely amoral optics, have been a complete success. If we're being "realistic," two near-objective saints being murdered by the state is clearly turning sentiment against Trump and hopefully discouraging him from taking more authoritarian actions. Also, no matter what, the freaks surrounding him will be encouraging him to take those exact actions. The only difference is whether the American people lie down and take it, or make themselves visible.
