Episode Details

Trump, who once said about the BLM protests, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" as a chilling show of excessive force against protestors, has just declared about the protests in California, "when the spitting starts, the hitting starts" to blow a dog whistle to law enforcement and the National Guard to use brutality to crush dissent, right ouf of the fascist playbook. Popok calls out Trump's strategy of purposely picking a fight with California and Governor Newsom his political rival to make this about lawlessness v. law and order and discusses why protestors must refuse to take the bait.
