The modern armed State will almost always win. Chiefly because the most potent response one thinks of is peaceful protests. We saw what 800 almost totally peaceful protests in the summer of 2020 accomplished with respect to laws about police brutality.
I do agree that we massively discounted the true violence that was being contemplated after J6.
