The protesters do NOT “fear” a totalitarian state, they are consciously attempting to create one.
It is always amazing how many people on our side still do not get this.
My point is that the police state will target them first. In any such takeover those who betrayed the old order are liquidated first. The new bosses know these people can’t be trusted. Like Hitler who liquidated the SA once he was done with them. Antifa and BLM would go the same way.
