I will say this.
I believe this is a watershed moment.
There have been recent class-based assassinations with the CEO of a health insurance company and others.
And, there have been recent political assassinations of state representatives and attempts on the current US president during the election.
But this is the first "big name" political assassination.
I fully expect tit-for-tat responses. I'm worried about a couple that I won't name out loud. There has been a LOT of stochastic terrorism. Fricken powder keg.
Some have called our current situation (prior to this) a "cold civil war" what with the US President deploying armed military to various cities and giving shows of force. Whether that term fits or not, I do believe we're in the midst of a civil war.
This is an escalation.
I expect it will continue.
Join community. Build up mutual-aid. Find folks to protect and those who can protect you.
Modern civil war is distinctly different from the 1800s and we're really not sure how it'll play out. But institutions are and already have crumbled - not everywhere and not uniformly.
But here we are.

@kkarhan - Some will get out. But most won't.
Most don't have the means or life situation to allow for it.
And its not like a lot of places can take "refugees". Canada will only accept so many.
In short, getting out isn't a viable option.
Most of us are riding this out.

@tinker if you haven’t read Who Do We Choose To Be, you should. It’s dark, but it echoes your sentiments for post unity life.

@tinker basically we are fucked. They want people to erupt into pure and unaldultered rage so they can finally execute what they want to do. People will fall for the bait which means we are most definitely fucked.

@alex02 - I don't believe we're fucked. Honestly. I believe there are multiple ways out of this. That said, I do believe getting through those multiple ways will not be easy or pretty.
Societies change, and morph, and I don't believe the authoritarianism will last. But I also don't think they'll leave easily either.
But we're not fucked.
Find hope. Build out the next good thing.
