Oh you sweet summer child.
Of course they will. Because they will not think of them as “their fellow Americans”. They will think of them as “Godless terrorists who are destroying our very way of life.”
This is how troops are desensitized. The enemy are not human beings.
And yet, for every Tiananmen Square there’s a Bornholmer Bridge, where soldiers said “fuck this.”
Trump will get his massacre. It’s going to be on victims he’s calculating won’t matter: a homeless camp, a city park in the ghetto, some cinderblock shacks where pea-picker families live. But if he thinks it will strengthen his regime he’s wrong.
But Chuck Schumer is going to write such an angry letter and Collins and Murkowski will both consider muttering something under their breath.
Which is why Gov. Pritzker should mobilize every heavy earthmover in the Illinois Department of Transportation. Blockade ICE vehicles, or bulldoze their front lines. Those are Teamsters. They hate Illinois Nazis.
Hassel ‘em. Ticket ICE vehicles that don’t comply with traffic regulations. Parking tickets, tickets for blocking traffic, etc.
I think I’m going to make a sign. It will say something about how I could be your grandma, will you really shoot me? Something like that. I’m open to suggestions.
Since I’m in California, I may not need it too soon, but I sincerely believe that things are going to get nasty.
Have any of you seen the newest post from trump? It states that ‘The world will soon understand, Nothing can stop what is coming’ .
Sheesh. The fucking President of The United States is so embarrassing.
That’s a hope spot. Pritzker and his staff are smart enough to figure out the battlefield in advance, and head off some of what Donnny hopes to achieve.
Bad idea. It relies on the assumption they wouldn’t shoot their own grandma.
Good point.
The Supreme Court just made it legal for police in the US to detain people based on race alone:
This is still the same Supreme Court we’re waiting on for that inevitable stopping of Trump, no? But maybe this is all part of a clever plan. Remember how Trump’s hand turned black on him? Maybe they’re hoping the rest of him will turn black and he’ll get thrown in jail!
So… SCOTUS says it’s OK to take race into consideration when it comes to arresting people… but not when they’re applying to a college?
Sounds about right…yup.
The principle is fairly simple: “If it works to the disadvantage of darker-skinned people, it has the SCOTUS blessing.”
Trump is shutting down late night TV shows. That’s not censorship by the government. Also, so fucking boring.
Let me know what it takes for a dictator to rise to the opposite of boring.
No, not boring at all. [/s] I cannot believe that people thought Trump wasn’t dangerous, just because he’s a fool.
Yep, this thread has aged poorly. All those folks railing against those that were leaning into their smelling salts should be apologizing. The smelling salts and fainting couches were 100% warranted. We are fucked.
We are in a fascist dictatorship. It is no longer a question. Trump can do whatever He wants, and no one can stop Him. As has been demonstrated.
Yep. I hope someone finds a way to stand up to him. The house or congress? Maybe one of them can grow a spine and save this country. I doubt it…
I fully expect an announcement that the Democratic Party has been made illegal. If not the CK assassination, then some future bit of violence or disrespect will lead to it.
All of these plans are already in place, the Trump regime is just waiting for the right time to pull them out. Going after disloyal news and comedy media has always been the plan, exactly what excuse is used is just a detail waiting to be filled in.
It is already being called for, without recrimination or retaliation.
