Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

constituents.

Mask fully weaponized militias in their cruel minds, is the way to go.

Ya think they would have learned from USA's history. Most of their heritage were immigrants fleeing from oppression of religion, economy, statue.

Many were taking and or sold from their homeland for slavery.

Many were welcome by the Native Americans and were taught how the work the lands in peace, and we know how that turned out.

But from the good and bad past, somehow, we the people became one of the most powerful country in the world.

shithole and the present bullshit party have loss all respect and have become the most dangerous laughing stock country, and don't think a lot of countries can't wait for the USA to fall.

Fuck you Republican party.

I'm convinced Trump and his henchmen are trying to provoke armed uprisings to use as justification for eliminating the people they don't view as American.

no elections, but total control.

But since the GQP don't follow laws and ruling, we the people won't neither.

They want another Civil War and yes, we the people will win. Unfortunately the GQP don't about the lives and consequences.
