(5,894 posts)All the democratic voters? They'll have databases of our personal records including voter registration. They made it legal for VA folk to turn away and basically kill democratic veterans. How long until all democratic names go into one huge kill list, as is done in other 3rd world countries. He and P2025 people are serious about getting rid of their enemies.

(5,894 posts)This country is too full of gun worshippers craving to start a major shooting war. But everytime they try, we don't shoot back. At least, for now. I don't know how much longer we can hold out. The one thing that's true across all lines of humans... we all have a "crisis point" where enough is just too much to go on any longer. Generally, no good comes out of the short term when that point is hit. The maga idiots are too stupid to think critically about this.
But I really wonder, how hard is to live with the idea of Mind Your Own Business, and let everyone live as they want to live, as long as they're not hurting you or taking your stuff? The lost art of MYOB. This is where we lost the magats in the early days of Reagan and before. They couldn't stand looking at all the ways they screwed things up, so they had to get up into everybody else's business to prove it was everybody else's fault... and not theirs! I still say this is why the repugs came up with the statement that Conservativism couldn't fail... it could only BE failed. (psst! Don't look at Afghanistan and Iraq. The whole P2025 failed right out of the box over there, and it's going to end fail here, too... just not before too many innocents are hurt or die.)

They love the wholesale slaughter of Americans.
The GOP currently is assaulting, arresting, handcuffing, jailing, and killing Dem leaders.
People on US soil are being kidnapped and sent to gulags.
At some point we have to fight back or we will all be dead.

(5,894 posts)but now, approaching 70, I realize all I did was *read* about history. I didn't study it to understand the nuances. I'm thinking it's time to pick up major points of history and read how others freed their countries, etc. We've never been faced with anything like this admin, it's time to gain new knowledge and understanding and pass it on to the young ones, if they'll listen.

(71,307 posts)Stories about other countries falling into a dictatorships seemed distant and far away.
Yes time to re-think all the history lessons.

(5,894 posts)It's a deep dive into the "enemies" of the administration... who registered as democrat. Who is not a xtian or affiliated with the "correct" church. Who attends anti-trump rallies. IOW, all that information the web is so good about gathering for marketing purposes and turning it into something the trump administration can use to spread further fear and terror.

(5,894 posts)I'm hoping to go... want to go! if I can figure out how to make it a little easier on my body, and the temp doesn't have me down with heat sickness. The heat and humidity about that time in July makes it pretty dangerous at times to be outside. But this time, I swear I will put a really tall flag on top of my little car so I don't lose it again! (LOL)
I think it'd be a good idea to have June 14th, every year, be a "No Kings" Federal Holiday. Just to make sure what we did that day is never forgotten.
