Everything I have seen so far from the anti-ICE protests seems to be on a fairly small scale compared to say the Gorge Floyd / Black Lives Matter protests from a couple of years ago. I think the Trump admin. is using this as an excuse to deploy the National Guard and now active duty Marines as a form of escalation. The reality is that the resistance has not been that strong... at least not yet. I am not sure if the Trump admins escalatory response will play into their hands in the future.

Lets see if Trump is dumb enough to Pardon the cops from the Floyd incident. They might end up having anti-ice, blm, gaza, ++ protests at some point.

The problem with Floyd was the pandemic. As in a significant amount of people were shoved into their homes and were slowly going nuts over the isolation. It probably would have been better if Trump had not gotten involved with the LA protests. Attaching himself has attracted more attention and galvanized Anti-Trump/MAGA people due to his personal involvement. If he left it alone then chances are there would be less people and it would have petered out sooner with less media coverage.

Lol seems he's just another top official who fell victim to Maos never ending purges to keep himself in power. Lol
Not exactly. He was the Minister of Defence who backed Mao up to the hilt through the radical phase of the Cultural Revolution, and was instrumental in building Mao's personality cult and helping him get rid of the moderate party leaders. When Mao started rapprochement with Nixon, Lin Biao strongly disagreed and fell out with Mao. Shortly afterwards he mysteriously attempted to leave the country but ended up crashing in Mongolia. It's not very surprising if Elon is also forced down the same path soon.
