I realized their preparedness when the police confronted the 2020 BLM protests with military equipment. Militarizing the police did not happen overnight; they've been prepared for a while.
We are too divided and won't beat them even if we mass mobilized. The trucker protest efficiently choked the economy but failed to galvanize the majority.
Civil uprisings will increase as living standards deteriorate, but we will attack each other instead of our governments. People trust the institution more than each other, and we can't fix our problems because we don't know what's causing them. It's unbearably sad.
