    The use of Minneapolis as an example is definitely good for proving it can be done in the U.S. How we manage to do this on a national scale remains to be seen but local/state-by-state strength is possible, at least.

      The Minneapolis response really gives me hope. However the hard part will be the national coordination step. We’ll have a few dozen pockets of organized resistance, but this regime will be working overtime to arrest and remove any attempts at national organization.
