i think the american authorities response to the black panthers was portent of trump's election win and the clearest example that americans are unaware of this country's true nature.
a part of me wishes i didn't know so that i could keep blaming leftists and latinos for trump's win without ever realizing that i've been put into trap of choice between a genocide-enabler and the genocide-ignorer and either one got more votes than all of the people who wanted to end the genocide combined.
