Do you believe that we will be placed in harm's way when trump takes over next year?
My answer: Yes, I think we are in danger. I don't have to rehash all the reasons why. The fact is, the danger that he poses has been evident for years, but it was made crystal clear on January 6, 2021. Yet the speed at which the FBI/DOJ moved was not in sync with the danger that we were in. It wasn't taken seriously.
Would any other terrorist leader be allowed to roam around freely for 3+ years and then run for office and win? No. Of course not.
Our nation's agencies are supposed to protect us. Why didn't that happen?
This is not justice at all. We were let down, big time. Millions of people don't see it yet, but they will, assuming they don't die first.
Clarification: By "we," I'm not referring to DU, I'm referring to the American people. All of us who live in this country.

(13,439 posts)For example, when he was first elected, millions participated in the Womens March on Washington and in cities around the country. His government will refuse to allow any organized protests in DC. Blue cities will allow them and he could very well federalize the National Guard and send them to stop the protesters. There is definitely danger there. But are we in physical danger because we post negative comments about him on DU? I think the risk is small because he is looking to make examples of the well-known people who cross him.

We as DU posters or merely by being democrats, very unlikely in my opinion.

Or adulterated food (recall the Pure Food and Drug Act which ensured food was, well, food and not sawdust or actual poison).
