Dude can fuck fight off. He’s not going to scare us into submission. He’s going to start a fucking civil war, and he’s an idiot if he thinks that’s not what will happen.
That’s exactly what his supporters want, though. An excuse to start shooting The Blahs, Jews, foreigners, LGBTQ, uppity women, and people they know to be liberal, federal workers, Hollywood/news celebrities and politicians that they hate, etc…
I think his supporters are going to learn the difference between “peaceful” and “harmless” really quickly.
Maybe, but at a certain point, people get tired of being pushed around.
That’s would appear to be the plan, yes. Push people to riot, declare marshal law, turn it into a full blown civil war and rely on the assumption that right wingnuts are more likely to be armed than those who oppose fascism. I fervently hope it does not come to that, and some way is found to stop it in time, but the future currently looks rather bleak in that respect.
They will deputize the 2A ammosexuals that back Bronzo and make them into death squads. If it comes to that. They won’t just rely on wingnuts being armed and dangerous; they will make it clear they have license to kill, and most likely organize it.
Private company banning hate speech: “omg, what about my free speech?”
Government banning use of certain words and calling protests illegal: “finally rooting out waste, fraud and abuse!”
Fortunate that the constitution explicitly makes protesting legal, right guys?…
Right? That’s pretty obviously the entire point of the first amendment right? Anyone?
Free speech absolutists.
He wants to get rid of the Department of Education anyway, so what is there to lose?
Say Trump, what constitutes as “illegal?”
Probably anything they can label as “against christian values.” To keep it as vague as possible.
Turkey much?
Usually if you are protesting the police always attempt to find reason to arrest you.
Now here is the trick they did with Falastien, call Hamas terrorist group, call anything about Israel antiemetic, call any criticism of Israel hate speech, have unclear laws about hate speech and gave power to federal agent to do whatever against terrorist.
Both allowed police, and collages to call protest against a genocide an illegal act.
Now, what trump plans to do, as soon as there is a protest, they can call the group a threat to America and make them terrorist , which allow police and federal agency to pick them up and investigate them as they like. It also allow republican companies and groups to reduce their ability to get jobs and maybe run buses with their faces and names around campus, similar to what they did to protester of Gaza genocide.
It was a slippery slope that started a while back and every administration keep going down hell, but now we have someone who doesn’t care about public image snd will do whatever he like.
Hamas is a terrorist group though
