@Lana A few years ago when the Portland protests were super active and there were repeated confrontations with the feds, I was on a call with a county party leader who suggested the protests should “just” move a few blocks away from the federal building.

I said “I’m having a hard time thinking of a case where ‘let’s give the fascists a little more room’ was the right call, historically.” To his credit, I think he heard it: there was a lot of “Oh. Huh. Hrm.”
