They were mainly merchants or professionals who often sought to diffuse or coopt unruly street politics, but then they were also doing a lot of this so yeah

The Homan Paradox: @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social is 100% right but all I will ever hear is “I’m Kenny Rogers and this is Jackass"

Taking a cue from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social we’re confronting a cheap, gaudy knock-off Leviathan, a fantasy to manifest into being (per @jamellebouie.net). It can’t be the only form of defiance, but it/they need to be mocked: endlessly, relentlessly, and without mercy
From Jamelle Bouie’s recent article, “The Unreal Spectacle of Trump’s Authoritarianism”: The administration-produced imagery in Washington is, then, a projection of sorts — a representation of what the president wants reality to be, drawn from its idea of what authoritarianism looks like. The banners and the troops — not to mention the strangely sycophantic cabinet meetings and news conferences — are a secondhand reproduction of the strongman aesthetic of other strongman states. It is as if the administration is building a simulacrum of authoritarianism, albeit one meant to bring the real thing into being. No, the United States is not a totalitarian state led by a sovereign Donald Trump — a continental Trump Organization backed by the world’s largest nuclear arsenal — but his favored imagery reflects his desire to live in this fantasy.
