    Yeah because Trump would rather have everyone shot instead of arrested and thrown in concentration camps. He would prefer the courts allow him to just murder us, which is about to happen in 2026 if he gets his way.

        I’m no Trump supporter (fuck the fat orange pedophile), but you shouldn’t accuse someone of dementia when you can’t even spell the word yourself. (Trump absolutely does have it, though.)

          If I had to make a choice between not having dementia and having perfect spelling, the spelling would have to fall by the wayside, despite the annoyance that I’d have to put up with from punctilious knobheads who mistake ability to spell for intelligence.

    The only difference between ICE and the SS / Gestapo is public executions. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what Donny means.

    I’m pretty sure he is using ICE to trigger a violent response from the population so it “justifies” the use of the military against the population. To him, it hasn’t gone far enough because he hasn’t gotten that violent response yet.

      Yeah, you guys should just wait around rather than provoke him. I’m sure common sense will intervene and he totally won’t keep escalating things the way he has continually been. Best to save any direct action until it’s DEFINITELY too late.

      Fucking clowns.

      This is what I really don’t understand. So the game plan is to use a violent response as an excuse to use a violent response?

      At this point we’re looking at 10s of thousands if not 100s of people kidnapped, and we’re all doing nothing under this pretext. Is this message from the opposition?

      The thing were all forgetting is that we don’t have to fight ice, we just have to fight billionaires and their security. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can all sleep without worry

        It’s a catch-22. If people fight back, Trump & Co steam roll us with the military to quell “the violent left.” As people have remained relatively non-violent, the state keeps upping the ante in hopes that the people respond violently, which in turn “justifies” a violent course of action from the fed. They’re only really heavily antagonizing blue cities.

        The purpose of all this is to extinguish opposition in order to transform the US into some bastardized rosey view of the 50s where the majority of people are white Christians, where men are in charge and women keep quiet, and that they can control the economy from on high to further enrich “the right people” while keeping the poors at bay. This is all entirely spelled out in Project 2025. They’re trying to throttle anyone not in 100℅ agreement with their view of the right America.

            If I had to guess, to keep rallying their base. They still need continued support from at least a portion of the country to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. Once they have total control, they’ll cast them aside.

            The left might protest peacefully but the right might not (ie: J6). When this happens the left will be blamed and shown as example, when really it’ll be one of their own people. They’re doing it cus it’s making them money.

        The game plan is to get a violent response from the proletariat to lock the country down into martial law, and rule by deadly force. He becomes king, and his billionaire donors get more money (especially from for-profit detention centers).

        He continues to either bring up, or gets asked about, the Insurrection Act. Problem is, he doesn’t have a legitimate reason to use it yet. Sure, he could probably imvoke it now since he has lawful immunity, but the optics wouldn’t align, so he has to help stoke the fire.

        The billionaires, meanwhile, have insulated themselves from wrongdoing by the grander populace, as they’ve benefitted from decades long propaganda about “earning” their wealth. Meanwhile having sufficient power to influence laws and regulations, while building their own “escape” plans (bunkers, foreign investments and properties, etc.). Not to mention, loyalist security forces, including the National Guard (a private donation paid their whole next paycheck).

    They planned this shit for decades. They know the psychology of all the players down to a T. All so some christo fascist can enslave us all in the name of Christianity while stealing all of our labor and resources.

    It’s insane that the dumbest among us could not see how voting for Trump three times would allow them to finish their plans: But we have to remember this Trumpers are racist idiots but also victims themselves. I don’t know how all this will end but I hope it can be done without more violence.

      If its not one thing it’ll be another. He’s not going to allow any more elections. He’s all but said so. Might as well kick shit off before his hands are all the way around our necks.

          He wants to stay in the white house until he drops dead. He’s not going to suddenly obey the constitution just because people didn’t get violent to resist him. He’ll find another reason to justify his fucking with elections if that doesn’t happen. Meanwhile his ICE goons will continue to destroy lives and his Congress is sitting on their asses while people lose their benefits. Just in time for winter. Doing nothing also plays into his hands.

    What’s interesting is that they are bleeding supporters. Instead of the boiled frog, they’ve hit us with ice water. It got on everyone. Trump still needs to have supporters for him to be become king. He’s not there yet and he’s losing supporters and no kings seem to keep getting bigger.
