Now hear this:
Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.

Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.
IT MUST STOP NOW
Every day of acquiescence makes an end to fascism more costly in lost freedom and LIVES.

The shit is hitting the fan right now, as wildly unconstitutional acts are being pulled.
Either the courts send in marshalls, or we shut it down. (my opinion)
Why?
Things have already gone too far for business as usual.

We have secret police.
We have concentration camps.
He will keep pushing until someone pushes back.
He's creating a crisis hoping for violence. He knows only thuggery, hate, mob violence, blackmail and threats.
He doesn't know the power of concerted moral indignation and fortitude.
Where is the FORCE OF NATURE to crash his ride?

We, the people?
Legislators?
Unions?
Young people?
Victims of his pedo-pals?
There's not a minute to waste.
Because every minute costs lives.

In between elections, it's a vacuum, and we have only organizations like indivisible and others.
Whereas, the RW has permanent propaganda and other operations going 24 by 7 by 365.

One the media probably didn't talk too much about but alarmed me the first time I read it was when Ivana Trump, Trump's first wife, told the press as far back as the early 90's that Trump had a book of Hitler's speeches beside his bed that he would read from time to time. Thus, Trump all along has been a fan of Hitler. This was brought up again since at least 2016.

If you want to do something it has to be organized and strategic. You don't just throw a moletov cocktail (like the other side did) and expect things to come out better. If we strike, or demonstrate, or whatever, it needs to be effective. Or we blow our opportunity.
Our window of time is small. But we still have a voice. We need to use it.

Perhaps you arent selling anything is people are holding onto their money and not buying your antiques.
Plus you are an extremely selfish person. I dont care about the country if I cant make my house payments therein lies your only concern concerns yourself and not the concerns of our country.
