That kinda sounds like some fascist orders coming down the pyramid right there. “The people seem to be suggesting they don’t want people like us in charge, therefore we must protect and defend the government we currently control from doing what the people want or being run by those the people choose.”
I swear it was something completely unexpected. The senior official (the top person in the room) just blurted this out, saying other comments about how " those people" won't believe the truth and perpetuate their false narratives. It was hard not to stand up and tell her to fuck herself.
