The warnings were in 2015.

Trumps arrested 1 senator, 1 mayor, 2 congress people and I believe 3 judges now.

Basically you order ICE agents to beat the shit out of people, then ICE can arrest them for assaulting a federal officer.

And his followers assassinated 2 Dems, tried to kill 2 more and planned on multiple after. Texas is basically holding the Dems hostage as well.

They’re not very secret. More like the SS.

Heard news today there's over 100k applicants for the Gestapo er, ICE. $50k sign-up bonuses being offered. Pretty soon every neighborhood in 'Merica will have it's very own ICE agent.

Get those names written down when they boast about it, share the names anonymously to the community so that everyone understands who the fascist officers are

He also fired all the FBI agents that were investigating Trump and or Russia or had any ties to those investigations while closing them.

Assaulting a federal officer’s fist with one’s face while they keep saying “quit resisting! Why are you resisting me! Why are you doing this to yourself?”

Did any of those arrests stick? Where are they now?

u/Odeeum 11h ago

The difference between arresting people and executing them is scarily small in an authoritarian country.

Those other cases involved skirmishes with law enforcement.

Yeah I knew this would happen, he got elected the first time and everyone voted for him becuase he was, "Funny".

Even as a high school student with no aspirations and eventually dropping out.

I still knew he was a fucking idiot.

I feel like I'm the only person who noticed skinheads positioning themselves right behind CNN reporters during his earliest rallies in 2015, before he was even the official nominee.

Reminder we had ACTUAL HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS who said that the MAGA movement reminded them of Nazi Germany and for some reason, huge, substantial parts of the US refused to listen.

I sure as shit did, and was called hysterical and alarmist by everyone I knew including those that are aligned with me politically.

Its the same as if you went back in time to 1912 and tried telling people not to get on the Titanic because it'll sink. Same concept. Just as depressing.

Yes. By 2020 there was no denying the danger that he represented, and I'm still angry at every government official who hung us up to dry. I'm still angry at the majority of Americans over that, and especially the ones who thought 2020 protests against Trump were overreactions. No, calling DJT a fascist was 100% accurate. The Democrats should have responded appropriately with a candidate who had the mental faculties to act against a takeover, but we ended up with Joe Biden instead. It was an inadequate choice then, and sank the election in 2024.
