I’m a single father of adult children and a student of history. I’m beginning to wonder who will take care of my cat if I end up in a camp.

I agree. It’s only infamous to the 75 or so million people who voted this disaster into the office.

We’re all going to die, and none of this will matter.
Every king, every emperor, every servant and every slave is buried in the same earth.
But no moral person can see the evils this administration is perpetrating and will perpetrate and not consider the possibility that it could be stopped.

In a different reply on this thread, I suggested asking the French resistance about the value of obeying the rule of law against the Nazis.
The rulebook is out the window. Trump and his minions are playing by Hitler’s playbook and there’s only two ways that ends.

Ask the French resistance about the value of sticking to the rule of law against the Nazis.
Or new authoritarian government is playing by Hitler’s playbook . Does it make sense to wait till the damage is done and bring them to justice or is it better to take a lesson from history and stop it now?

Violence is acceptable and people do need to die. Sometimes it helps.
The only problem is the people on the right side of history aren’t the kind of people too take the necessary action.
So we will fantasize about justice after this is all over rather than stopping it now .

75+ million people voted them in, those 75+ million people are not going to go away
As long as they are playing by Hitler’s playbook, Hitler’s outcome is the only one that will work .
The world needs to turn a blind eye for a while while we go to hell and back

Is anyone seriously surprised? The guy has been running Hitler’s playbook since day one!!
The only difference is, Hitler actually got sent to prison for a time, whereas Trump was given immunity
The Supreme Court and the GOP, seeing how quickly a new fascist regime could rise, skipped a step.

We are hopelessly out gunned
As a former Infantry soldier, I can only imagine what would happen if those of us on the correct side of History were similarly armed.
An armed resistance is long overdue.

Exactly. I’m not saying they were right.

You’re assuming the point of Trump’s law enforcement/military arm is to break up the violent protest
This is not the case
The point is to do violence to the protesters to the point that people no longer protest, the fascist state
By sitting down, you will only give them an excuse to trample you

Agreed, and the Republicans who stepped in line and the Democrats who failed to act.
No one is without blame.
I hope the world lets the United States burn to the ground.

Hitler went to jail for trying to take control of the government. Sure he got out and DID take control of the government but at least he went to jail. I’m ashamed of the U.S. We didn’t just reelect our felon, we didn’t even make a show of trying to bring him to justice.

The smartest thing in the world can do is pretend the United States is gone for a couple of years.
Every time someone negotiate with Trump, he convinces his followers that he is powerful
He and his followers need to be starved out
Work around us for now

But…Putin gets to have parades!!!

Germany lost World War I, but Hitler had military parades all the time at Nurnberg.
Wait, I forgot. Hitler actually served in the military.
Trump is worse.

It says that we are a reputably divided and the half of us with an ounce of common sense do not own all the guns
The only solution is for the entire world just to pretend we don’t exist for the next 3 1/2 years
Every time someone negotiates with the monster, it makes his people think he is strong

Help is pointless. The only real solution to an infection this widespread, is to let us burn.

They’re letting it happen because let’s face it, all politicians are corrupt. They’re lining their pockets and they’re letting somebody else do their dirty work and then they will point the finger want to be reelected.

They’re no longer on the bottom rung of the ladder. They are equal to the people with college degrees. They’re equal to the engineers that made the generators run and the lightbulbs light up
They crave the chaos because it plays into their skill set

The ignorant and the stupid crave chaos and their guns and survival skills are the great equalizer in a dystopian post apocalyptic society.
comment in response to

Believing that the government is festooned with corrupt players in a global conspiracy, they crave a candidate who will create chaos and disrupt what they seem to think is an organized Cabal
This is the same reason that television shows like The Walking Dead are so popular

…than to admit to themselves that they are stupid and drink too much and smoke too much pot and didn’t pay attention in school.
They will believe any Pied Piper who says that their state in life is not their fault.

Faced with the possibility that they screwed up their lives and that they are failures, and they are on the bottom of the ladder, it’s easier for them to believe someone who says they’ve been held down by Govt corruption, and secret societies

Our great president Donald Trump was not getting a hand job from the Arabs.
They brought a couple of girls in to shit on him.

This is something that I have been giving thought to as my son is about to go into the Air Force.
He be maintaining aircraft and balancing human cargo when people are deported to camps in foreign countries.
He literally will be “just following orders”.
Should my son postpone his dream?

Politicians in this country have learned that there are 75 million people to keep them in a cushy job. This won’t end until we’re in ashes

If he disappeared this afternoon, it would solve nothing. His henchman have already learned that they can do whatever they want.
Congress (both sides), have learned that the dirty work can get done without it looking like they did it.
They have and are allowing this to happen.
Let us burn.

Can you teach your young correspondents/reporters to stop answering questions
“Yeah” and the actual answer???
It’s more annoying than peppering their response with “ummmm” every third word.
