Federal immigration agents swarm Minneapolis high school, handcuff staff and fire chemical irritants at students. Safety concerns prompt school closure.
The behaviour of ice and the dhs fits the definition of terrorism: “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims”. State terrorism is still terrorism.
Nazi Germany prior to the Reichstag fire was kinda like the usa now: thugs on the street harassing civilians of chosen outgroups without consequences, but the government was still ostensibly obeying laws and not yet mass disappearing people. I think usa republicans aren’t ready yet to have their Reichstag fire moment, but it just seems like a matter of time. Their expansion of ice seems pretty much unopposed & their take over of government agencies + army/navy appears to be progressing steadily as well.
Our Reichstag fire was long ago, and it’s not about “Republicans”.
The response to 9-11 is what some consider to be the “turning point”, the Patriot Act and what it created was a point of no return. (it made ICE, a surveillance state, Guantanamo concentration camp, and so much more). There is no better environment for fascism, it approves and supports fascism by design.
If you somehow erased every Republican tomorrow, that fascist surveillance police state would remain, waiting to be used in the only way it can be used.
oh yea, and the Ds never immediately repeal the things bush did in his 2 terms, they JUST KEPT IT around, as if like they need the thing to keep the masses complicit.
as soon as the first shooting, disappearance happened, there shouldve been riots, instead we got peaceful and ineffective protesting, if the govt knows you arnt going to riot with threat of mass unrest, they are going to ignore the protest.

Democrats won’t save you

The question is, is the American public in the right mood to flip over to fascism when scared by the riechstag fire or flip against it?
Dude, we’ve already flipped. Dissent is punished and while most people aren’t okay with it, no one’s doing anything that will actually stop it.
as soon as the first shooting, disappearance happened, there shouldve been riots, instead we got peaceful and ineffective protesting, if the govt knows you arnt going to riot with threat of mass unrest, they are going to ignore the protest.
That won’t stop on its own.
