Fascism in America. Brought to you by conservatives.
Start arming yourselves. If you have friends and family that aren't armed, help them get armed.
Don't be fooled. The Dems used the same tools to their advantage before Trump. Its just not as blatantly illegal as it is now. They allowed these arms of the federal government to grow.
Ah yes, the Dems, widely known for snatching people off the streets on the fucking daily.
The key difference that your awful take misses is the difference between the center-right and conservatives. The center-right will support business and capital far more than it should and will drag its heels on things like worker’s rights but progress can be made. Conservatives, on the other hand, are angry, fear-driven morons who cause real, direct physical harm to people for he crime of being not who their deranged leaders prefer.
Centrists are worthless and their inaction leads to real consequences but it is the Conservatives’ action that makes them so especially violent and dangerous and as much as the centre-right does nothing they, ultimately, are not the ones causing the right to commit these atrocities. In other words, shut the fuck up, you aren’t helping.
Listen, I hate liberals as much as the next leftist, but you’re a fucking idiot if you think they were snatching people off the street for being brown.
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying they allowed these TOOLS to exist. They didn’t dismantle it when they had a chance. I worked in CBP in the past. They let this cancer grow.
