What’s missing from that is - “after arrest, if they are the wrong colour of skin or have dual citizenship, they will be deported or striped of their American citizenship as criminals. Foreign students will head right to Guantanamo bay as they pose threat to our American values.”

Y'know, in this bizarre world him saying "NO MASKS" in block capitals probably will mean that people will wear them just to get right up his nostrils and make him flip his lid. (as if it's possible for him not to do that).

lol, i can actually see that happening tbh

He'll go bald by 2026

reply

martandelus.bsky.social•54 days ago

Seriously though, this is some unhinged stuff. He just wants mindless drones who are obedient and silent, that is dictator stuff right there. Which ironically will harden the stance against him because his lot pushed the whole anti-establishment thing to start with.

Manifestly anti-freedom/speech.
