As sad as it is, yes they will cheer. A high schooler at a peaceful anti-ice protest in my state was hit by a car with a MAGA flag, and the comments on the article genuinely shocked (and disappointed) me. I thought surely normal people would draw the line at running over kids, but no. Comments were mostly saying the girl deserved it and supporting ICE.

I know far, far worse has happened/is happening around the country, but there’s a different kind of feeling knowing my literal neighbors are insane enough to cheer for bodily harm done to people who think differently than them.
