You Could Be Next

Observant1
edited January 13 in Off-Topic
"You could be next. All of us need to realize this. The people who are being assaulted and murdered are abiding
the law. You could be murdered because Trump’s attorney general has defined 'domestic terrorism' to include
impeding law enforcement officers.
What if you’re merely standing in the way — in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or maybe you’re engaging
in nonviolent civil disobedience?"

"Trump could just as well arrest and expel permanent residents who voice support for, say, transgender people
or DEI or 'woke' or anything else the regime finds 'anti-American' and offensive. What’s to stop the Trump regime
from arresting you for, say, advocating the replacement of Republicans in Congress in 2026 and electing
a Democrat to the presidency in 2028?"

"What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your friends
and loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us. A dictatorship knows no bounds."

    The only thing positive thought that I can manage is that when enough people have been negatively impacted, they may do something about it. And Democracy appears to require patience.

    After he was elected the 2nd time, my attitude toward the American electorate changed from disgust to contempt. Churchill was right, all the way.

    The mid-term election cannot come early enough. In the meantime, people like you and I are susceptible to these random violence in public space. Is this Kristallnacht all over again?

    I'm sure the 'next' has been a thought, over time, among many here. We've talked about this during the marches/protests last year; regarding some of the 'locals', at that time. Obviously, the escalation is at another level now. Whatever actions are 'righteous' and with immunity. Hang in there.

    Steve Schmidt, former Republican, formerly of the Lincoln Project, has 10 concrete steps to fight and counteract the current law-free and constitution-free Orange regime. I posted that on a different thread, or maybe further up in this thread. (Lincoln Project broke apart after one or two founding members was/were involved in a stinky scandal or two or eight.)
