"So there are definitely people out there who voted for Donald Trump & the rest of his fascist party without fully understanding the consequences of voting for a corrupt proto-dictator who intends to create a authoritarian ethno-state in which freedom of speech, assembly, & religion are a thing of the past, in which the rights of marginalized people are stripped away, in which there will be mass deportations & work camps, in which there will be corrupt cronyism on an unimaginable scale, in which we will see the end of government protections of citizens against the excesses & abuses of corporations & hate groups, in which women are deemed property & in which anyone who falls outside of the defined gender roles set by a bunch of totalitarian apocalyptic religious creeps will be punished into submission or killed." https://www.the-reframe.com/rules-of-engagement/
@KeithDJohnson The most important reaction to this is, the president doesn't have that authority.
EVEN IF Trump intends to create such an authoritarian state, which runs counter to his campaign promises and the mainstream wants of his voters and everything else they say, even if we accept that extreme claim by his partisan opposition, he wouldn't be able to. Because we don't give presidents that choice.
So this kind of sensationalized talk is just nonsense. It doesn't help us oppose the guy, it just makes you sound like a kook.
