      Americans need to get organized and get their shit together FAST. What’s left of their democracy is disappearing daily.

        Their democracy has been gone for a while. They’re just getting around to noticing now.

      That’s really not how that works.

      It’s really more like… If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, then anyone can be imprisoned at any time.

      (All at the discretion of those in charge.) This is really a much worse situation for everyone.

        I expect you’re quite worried about this situation but try not to be so dismissive of others, please.

        Yes, in a very real sense it means that the Government can target their enemies with impunity. But in another very real sense it suddenly throws everyone over the barrier of having committed a ‘crime’ and may well remove any moral or ethical barrier one might feel in opposing the regime.

          That’s fair, I can see how starting my comment like that must have been really annoying. Sorry for that.

    The emperor has no clothes, and the frogs are starting to notice that maybe the water is a little hotter than it’s worth.

    Oh my God, did somebody let him watch Minority Report? His grasp on reality is, shall we say, not strong.

    I wish soooooo deeply that a Trump Gestapo is reading all my anti capitalist and anti organized religious comments. I’m so out and proud it’ll be great.
