I've said this before, I'll say it again, the immigrant round-up is just a pretext to round up, imprison and kill leftists. It's a slow-motion civil war, and our side is clinging to the faint hope that if we can just make it to November, we can course correct a rogue regime. At the rate things are unfolding, I wouldn't count on there being midterms. Every day, every week, there is a serious escalation moving us closer to the point of no return. When and if Trump goes down, he's going to take us all with him. He's that insane. I can't believe what is happening in the land of the free.

Going “ door to door “ rounding up “ illegals” is so reminiscent of Nazi Germany. They ‘let’the Jews survive for a short time but made them wear stars. This bunch isn’t even ‘ allowing’ that.

When the Vance’s visited Germany and toured a camp last spring , I joked that they were probably taking notes. Now it’s not even funny bc they were!

This regime has moved fast from authoritarian to facist to totalitarian. My prediction is that even if they lose midterms they won’t give up power. They will shut down Congress ( like Johnson did to prevent votes on Epstein) and install military to keep representatives out. They will never give up their power without a fight. They’ll claim election fraud and make it drag thru courts for years u til they can solidify power.

We have gone over the cliff and are hanging in by a few tree roots. Unless this Congress starts playing hard ball we are done. Not happening.

They couldn’t even override a veto w 2/3 vote on 2 bills that passed unanimously before!

They’ve sanctioned state murder now. Resisted and “pay the price” were the actual words spoken.

Pressure your republican reps to wise up, your dems to stop playing nice and fight.

No mid term elections are in view. Indefinitely postponed. Most probably!

It won’t be done legally, but that never stops them. The felon learned that the courts move too slowly and takes full advantage of that.

Even if the midterms are won by Democrats , It wont be recognised , The horse has bolted, the only thing to make republicans stop is assasinations, sad to say but I think we can all recognise the term STOLEN by now, and that word is set in concrete.

They want to create an apartheid country. They are willing to destroy the people and the country in their attempts to carry out their mission. They will only be stopped now by the people and our determination to assert and reinstate the rights given to us in 1789 in our U.S. Constitution. Those who stand up now and protect their rights are the patriots. We know that those who oppose us and oppress us are rogues, cowards, thugs, bullies, and worse. They went too fast and too far because of Miller's impatience. His whole countenance and manner of communicating reminds me of a very sick sociopathic predator - a rabid animal.

Now is our chance to take tactical advantage of his error, but we must keep the counter pressure going and growing from now on.

(Please watch or rewatch Youtube video "Battle at Kruger Park". Stephen Miller is dressed up as one of the lions at the watering hole. We are many. They are few. Also, please watch and repost 2003 clip of Stephen Miller on a bus talking with glee about torturing Iraqis because "torture is a celebration of life".

See you on the streets this weekend exercising my right to peacefully protest.

Yes, I've been thinking about the insufficient term 'authoritarian'. They are fascists. They are predators. They are criminals who will never be brought to justice because, for that to happen, the United States would have to surrender to international authorities who will conduct Nuremberg style tribunals. Not going to happen. But make no mistake, many of them would be executed if the law could be applied. They are killers.
