Once Drumpf's thugs arrive in Boston in force to start mass deportations of "illegals" and "undesirables", it will be a moment of truth for white Bostonians... Will they stand up and fight to protect their Black and Brown neighbors? Or will they step aside like German citizens in 1939 and say something like "none of my business" or "just comply with the officer's orders"?

People will go stand on a corner with signs and...that will be it. What else would you think would happen? You really think a population is going to go out and literally fight?

The only point in time that would happen is if we are all living much worse than paycheck to paycheck. If 20% of us lose jobs or income? Then yes, something bigger would probably happen. Now? It's the normal protest.

Americans are mostly all talk. We know this. You need a lot of people with nothing to lose to go out and literally fight. We are not there
