I have lived through unstable economic and political times before. Tariffs and isolationism are breeding grounds for fascism. We are at strong risk of repeating history.

Wow, I just spoke to "John" in my TX Congressman, Brian Babin's office, & he denied Trump ever spoke about building foreign prisons for Americans. He said Garcia can't be returned & insinuated he was a criminal. Rushed to get off phone when I told him my Dad lost 1K in the stock market.
What do you think I tell people to arm up we can put an end of this as a people there's more of us we are better trained better experience and have better capabilities and we're everywhere. It's coming close to the time of accepting the fact that our government has failed to protect us and defend
The Constitution so we're going to have to do that and we're going to have to hold them all accountable not just the ones for treason but the ones for dereliction of their duty. We had a system to prevent this and it was ignored and there will be a price to pay for that ignoring
I think it's too late. Have you not seen the stormtroopers (no, not the one's in white who can't shoot straight!) on the streets, making people disappear....
No, they have. They want this exact outcome. Remember when he said he'd be a dictator for one day. Like all his lies he didn't mean it. He meant he'd be a dictator for all days.
Repeating? Its already out there. People simply came out of the rasicm closet and went heil hitler. History has entered midstage where people are tortured already, next is genocide and overturned government because noone physically is going to stop that turd before its to late...
I just watched Rick Steves history on Fascism in Europe before and during WW2. The parallels are so strong it almost seems impossible now that it won’t happen here.
Would you say it is worse than before? I'm merely a history lover and it seems worse than before but I also think it could be the whole "I'm actually living through it" issue
It’s human nature gone wrong. It can happen each generation if children are raised in a society that normalizes hate & aggression. Read Alice Milker’s studies of Hitler, Nazi Germany, & cultures of child abuse & indoctrination.
SCOTUS created this Monster and Felon Trump is defying a 9 - 0 order to bring the wrongfully detained and human trafficked Mr. Garcia
This is a Constitutional Crisis
I don't think the orange shit bag and his Nazi regime believe Americans are going to rise up and fight them. I just took a conceal carry course w/ 15 women; 2 old dudes. I am not going to put myself in danger but if danger comes knocking at my door, I am prepared.
I know it must be agonizing to watch this happen again in our country it’s my first time and I find it so overwhelming that I can’t watch the news anymore I will read it only
Yes, this is fascism. Republican collaborators aren't just silent—they're cheering. Fascism doesn't rise alone. It needs cowards, profiteers, and enablers. History remembers them too. #FascismIsNow #NeverForget #DefendDemocracy
The serpent has arrived. Constitutional Crisis v1.

When he said tight in the Oval Office today that he would send citizens to El Salvador, he crossed a line. We are in crisis. A constitutional crisis. There’s no time left.
Dear Mr. Takei,
Fascism is here. There is no point denying it. We must call it what it is. It's here, now. I wish it wasn't. I wish my fellow Americans were smarter, kinder, more compassionate and empathetic. But they aren't and now we have a fascist, authoritarian, criminal administration.
After today’s Oval Office declaration of encouraging gulag prisons in El Salvador for US citizens, I’m pretty sure we’re well on our way to the US reich.
More like repeating human nature, and that nature leaves a recognizable pattern. Now it becomes a matter as to how quickly people will step up to deal with that nature.
If only there were some form of media, say a book or something like that, and a place for them to be stored and read where e could learn what happened before and the outcomes of such.
But George, fascism in the US has obviously risen during the peaceful times of Obama's presidency. Tariffs and isolationism are mere instruments of the already established fascism.
I wonder how John Roberts is feeling right. First, Citizens United: then, the Supremes gave trump immunity and permission to use the DOJ as his personal law firm; then, they allowed him to skate on criminal prosecution.
And now, here we are. On the verge of losing our democracy.
I'd like to believe SCOTUS will either say Trump's actions are not part of his core constituional duty, or they would reverse their immunity decision all together, but I fear they are spineless or ready to make Trump a dictator
Maybe we'll get lucky and the sun will obliterate everything wa gigantic extinction level event? Poof! In the blink of an eye. Everyone gone. No more bullshit. I'm being optimistic! 😁🙃🤪
Where's the fking congress & senate stopping this deranged tyrannical wannabe autocratic? They took the oath to the Constitution & then spat on it after their fealty to 🍊💩 leader!?
Felon 🍊💩 overreached it's executive power! Americans can rewrite the happy ending by protesting everywhere. 4/19!!🧢💪🪧
We are already there. He is talking about deporting American citizens to foreign concentration camps, they are already deporting innocent people with no due process on flimsy allegations.
The time to make a stand is now
Not a risk, an agenda. They learned all the bad things from the past and they want everyone to re-live them. They scream that they are being silenced because the world is woke while seeking to silence everyone else who isn't them. Isolate to breed more hate. Tariffs to attribute blame.
It's not a strong risk. It's already here. He just encouraged the El Salvadorean dictator to build more prisons to house "the homegrowns", in other words, American citizens. Meanwhile, ICE snapped up a guy in the midst of his final interview to gain US citizenship. Fascism has arrived!
At some point, we'll need to decide how much of this we'll take, when to act on it when it becomes unbearable, and what actions we'll be ready to take when that time comes.
Not least cuz too many people don't even remember 2020. No way the felon who bungled #trumpandemic and wrecked the economy should ever be back in the WH. #americanamnesia
We're already there. Everything they're doing is straight from the Nazi playbook.
Union busting
Replacing of government workers
Attacking our institutions
Attacking education
Rewriting of history
Attack on free speech
State controlled media
Concentration camps
The list goes on and on.
Started watching The Plot Against America for the first time last night and it was eye-opening. Debuted in 2020 to only warn us that this same capitulation would only give rise to another hitler. People all over the world dismissed hitler the same way they dismiss twitler. History will be repeated…
Yes George, you are. It's on the rise here in Canada too, but all evidence says we are strongly rejecting it. Helps when the local fascist dictator is such a raging moron, and idiot that up here we associate support with stupidity, and no one wants to be viewed as stupid
trump trafficking humans to death camps without a court appearance and disobed court order. time to get active 5 calls, indivisible or april 19th protest with 50501. time is now to join the resistance
You also experienced being in an Japanese Internment Camp during World War II while growing up. Now history is repeating itself again. I am so ashamed and sorry for what is happening in our country. But speak out and organize to fight back now. https://Mobilize.us There are more of us then there are of them
That's what confuses me. The Dems were in control and we all knew this was the plan per project 2025 so did they put no safety measures in place while they could?????
Just downloaded. I've never done the adult coloring thing before. What do you recommend for coloring? I'm sure I could use anything, but I would love to get some special tools just for this.
Oh thank you so much for your support! I find coloring very therapeutic, especially in these times. I alternate between colored pencils, alcohol markers, and coloring digitally on my iPad in Procreate. I’m pretty frugal so my tools aren’t anything expensive.
My colored pencils were originally from Amazon. There are lots of options but I recommend looking for pencils that are “soft” oil-based as these are more comfortable to work with. I got a set of 72 for probably around $20 and they’ve lasted me a couple years now.
Alcohol markers are the latest “trend” in the coloring world. Lots of people use Ohuhu brand, but they are expensive. I found some cheaper King Art brand markers at home goods and I’m happy with them. Definitely a learning curve with these, but I’ve grown to like them the more I use them.
The republicans seem to have it all worked out. They've been working on this for years the less people that get to vote the easier it is for them to win. Until we can't ever vote again. It seems sad that they are ready to lose democracy to get it and lose their self respect by kissing Trump's ass.
Hate to say this George but you are already three quarters of the way to Fascism. I’ve been reading, “The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich”, and it’s scary how many policies of the nazi regime are reoccurring today.
But the ignorant and greedy are willing to repeat history, as long as they come out on top! Not caring about the citizens they hurt, not caring about the laws they break they just want to be on top!
I know you have, and I'm profoundly sorry for those times. It's already too late. Short of an immediate military excision of Trump and his whole rotten nest of traitors, we are slipping over the edge. It's incredible that no such failsafe was built in.
we are not at strong risk at all...we are there, it is happening...it is not coming or going to happen down the road it is 10000% happening right now...we are in it.
America is already there. This is not the future. It's the present.
And nearly 50% of the population is still supporting what he's doing. They don't care about others because the "It'll happen to me" attitude prevails. We need to show them it is already happening to them.
They know that & that's the whole point. Their main problem coming in was that the economy was in far too good shape (in addition to having these really strong alliances) to facilitate a decent transition to a fascist authoritarian government. So they had to "fix" that.
Not just agent orange... the whole Repugnant Regime. You seen the order of succession? One horrific traitor after another. And then there is every single Repugnant that broke their oath to the constitution.
Remember in Trump 1.0 when Humpty Trumpty announced Foxconn was going to build a manufacturing plant in WI (MN?). Yep. They bought the land... they cleared the land... IIRC, even poured the foundation. #SnakeOilSalesman DO NOT forget his Foxconn con.

As long as it doesn't affect them.
We seemed to be a nation of "everyone out for themselves."

And all you've done with it,
is the exact same war crimes around the world ever since.
The EVIDENCE,
is pointing towards us having defeated the WRONG ENEMY.
Tariffs and isolationism -> more angry working class -> more fascism.
I'm so sorry. I hope enough people get together to stop it.
How much worse can it get?!!
Commit a #Genocide
Oh no
yall are doing nothing... what will it take?
And to think, the Trump administration is only getting started.
My God. Where will we be in 2 years?
He's a political arsonist. Pure and simple.
This is a Constitutional Crisis
We are in those times that you are remembering.
That ship sailed long ago.

Trump told El Salvador President Bukele he needs to build 5 more prisons because he's going to be sending him "home growns"
Bukele said
"we have enough space"
Those University Professors were smart to move to Canada last month

A social economy works very well by setting boundaries on capitalism.
He knows tariffs will kill our country, but when the stocks dip…his 💵💵💵 buddies buy low!!
This has always been a ruse to manipulate stocks, and again, make the rich richer.
I’m too poor to buy groceries AND stocks.
All a part of creating an oligarchy.
Oh what a fantasy World I obviously live in
Trump is now in open defiance of the Supreme Court
They did give him immunity.
No one to blame but themselves.
But if they do it had better be before martial law is declared.
And now, here we are. On the verge of losing our democracy.
Felon 🍊💩 overreached it's executive power! Americans can rewrite the happy ending by protesting everywhere. 4/19!!🧢💪🪧
The time to make a stand is now
We are already repeating it-
We are a fascist nation-
Until we aren’t
We are now living under fascist rule.
We’re past “risk”
Union busting
Replacing of government workers
Attacking our institutions
Attacking education
Rewriting of history
Attack on free speech
State controlled media
Concentration camps
The list goes on and on.
The rich pay higher rates of income tax but the poor pay a much higher proportion of their income in sales taxes
To avoid more fascists, the rich must be taxed more to improve the lives of the poor
There's NO other way!!
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/13/trump-populists-human-nature-economic-growth
America 𝘪𝘴 repeating history, like 1932 Germany history
They are planning on snatching Americans up and leaving them to die in foreign gulags. We have already jumped off the cliff.
Too many still don't want to see it. Soon it will be too late.
I'm afraid we're already there, mate.
Love, George
