80% of Americans deal with precarity. Food precarity, rent precarity, job precarity, family precarity, health precarity.

So a lot of us are feeling the discontent.

But we lefties arent used to planning violent protest (say sabotage and mischief. We'd rather not actually kill anyone.)

One possibility is the right-wing doing some sparking. A group of militant extremist reactionaries might load up and massacre a venue to get the civil war started.

Or the government could pass some laws resulting in mass incarcerations of non-violent offenders (say abortion seekers or LGBT+). Once that starts turning into capital punishment of young women protests might turn into arson of police and state facilities. We saw a bit of this with Iran with the Mahsa Amini protests or in 2020 US with the George Floyd protests.
