But if there's not enough agitation they'll keep provoking...
It's like telling a kid "the bully just wants a reaction" ignoring that the bully isn't just calling names, he's causing serious and permanent harm.
They're breaking into random houses with no warrants, murdering people on the streets, not allowing local law enforcement to investigate anything ICE does...
What the fuck is the endgame to "don't react" besides "they do anything they want"?
Right now in 2026, who is going to reign in trump so the people don't have to?
She's not saying "don't react", she's saying "this is the only explanation for this behavior".
She's not saying "don't give the bully ammo", she's saying "this is bullying behavior"
Please read articles and not just headlines
The people have to do it.
Just in case you need it for a crossword puzzle or something later:
With a g, it means to rule as a king.
Trump reigns right now.
Without a g it's the control straps for a horse, or using said controls.
Congress ought to rein him in.
Maybe they meant "who's going to rule over Trump?" and to that I say: the people, when they finally wake up.
