By Wednesday it’ll be two weeks and the baby will have to prove it’s looking for work.
“It is down to 4 weeks,” Biden says on CNN of his paid family and medical leave proposal.

This happened in the 70s, a little bit here, but largely in countries like Italy.
As it does, capitalism adapted, and now we have the modern security state that grew out of those crises. It's a mix of hard (secret service, etc.) and soft (demonization of all violence in politics) deterrents.
So what will happen will be exactly what happened in Italy during the Lead Years or during the Troubles. The government or (often and) the far right will do acts of murder and violence, and the left will retaliate in kind. The right wing violence will be downplayed by the fascist media apparatus, and the left wing violence will come to dominate public perception of the issue. Eventually, there will be something that goes too far (assassinating the PM in Italy's case), and the government will use it as an excuse for a fascist crackdown, and the world will cheer.
