    this is close to my thinking, except the city police paramilitaries are all right-wing extremists. the liberals have no one guarding the gate. they think guns and violence are too icky, but not even 1/6 or the kidnapping plot against Gretchen Whitmer has caused them to consider cleaning out their police forces of fash and, i dunno maybe arming and deputizing a bunch of communists or anfita. clearly, it's not ideal for them to keep servicing capital, but at least commies aren't in a frenzy fantasizing about putting them against the wall the way the fascists are.

      Maybe. I think when the time comes the cops won't bother with the pretense of ideology and just go full warlord. Might just be the cops I know in my area though.

      Like, I knew the guy that sold my city's swat tream their steroids. When the time comes those guys will be no different than they are now.
