This and the cops turning on the Proud Boys in Salem earlier are signs that at least the the MAGAts don't have the blue's full cooperation (couperation?). I figured police and military were the last line of defense, because, quite frankly, if the top brass had his back, the country would be held hostage.
The far-right is too dopey to realize that they've already won through and through, and the U.S. is literally their dream country (pretty much all paths lead to this). Of course most of them are getting fucked over nonetheless, while also watching liberals win the culture war cause white supremacist theocracy is incredibly unpopular, resulting in immense frustration.
Capital doesn't give a shit about any of this though. Itll use the far right to get as far as it can, but if they rabble-rouse too much (civil war talk and all that) the state will be forced to shut it down. Obviously antifa is a bit of a thorn in some parts of the country, and is being "dealt with" (from the point of view of the capitalist class), but there isnt an organized revolutionary movement in the U.S. at the moment, so they are gonna keep reactionary militias restrained.
