    They’ve told us what they’re going to (and want to) do every step of the way.

    But Trump fans pretend stuff isn’t going to happen… even when it’s literally happening

    On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term

    I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It’s very obvious. Violence = bad.

    All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don’t see any way out that won’t involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren’t interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America’s culture of diversity to replace it with their own.

    I’m not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren’t joking about wanting to attack libs. They’re actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.

    Do you see what I’m saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there’s enough in power that this is very, very dangerous

    All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don’t want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it’s legal &… I struggle to say humane.

        This is a not-so-crazy move in deeply Republican districts, but it requires getting folks to actually show up and vote in Republican primaries
