Sadly, when it does happen, we'll see the same stuff from our side "don't act! don't use violence!" and "anyone calling for action are glowies and trying to hurt our optics!". There may be calls for peaceful armed protests, but people will say "no, don't do that, that will look bad!"

The narrative from our side will be "Just hide and bury your guns and wait. Embrace peace!"

Ultimately, at that crucial moment, we'll effectively be slaves. You cannot fight a violent fascist mob with peace. But that's tough for many people on our side to stomach. This is how societies eventually lead to gulags, concentration camps, and executions of dissenters.

Again, I'm not advocating or calling for violence, but that's my observation.
