We should not panic because panic never helps.
Cool and rational thinking are always preferable, even in (or particularly in) an actual emergency.
It's also best to be prepared for what's certainly coming: More choas and mayhem. Trump is in desperation mode.

This.
Advising against panic is not minimizing the problem.
Only by accurately assessing the problem (no hyperbole) can we figure out how to deal with it.
Leaps in logic are not helpful. I'll give an example . . .

Follow the logic:
💠Federal agents are arresting people without probable cause, in volation of the Fourth Amendment.
💠Federal agents are escalating the violence.
💠This is what happens in martial law: The federal government disregards individual rights.

. . . because this is happening in 14 square blocks of Portland and Trump is threatening other cities, what will certainly happen is that Trump will install martial law nation-wide, shut down the elections, and stay in the White House and then what will we do?
See the problem?
See the problem?
If you jump from "federal agents in Portland are arresting people in violation of their rights" to "Trump will succeed in installing martial law everywhere and (so the implication goes) make himself dictator" there is no way to formulate a solution.
We've already given up.

Re-posting this because DeMarcus gets what I'm saying.
Yes, Trump is very dangerous.
He is not superman. He is not even a strongman.
Heck, those moms in Portland are tougher than he is.
He can be beaten.
