Wrong, I have defended Trump from unfair prosecutions for years on here. But as an uncompromising hard right conservative, I also don't like how Trump has continued to speak untruths himself, and defined deviancy down, which is damaging our long term ability to hold the high ground on important issues, both fiscal and social. He prohibits rational analysis by only ever speaking in absolutes, rather than trying to find the actual truth, which should be our goal.
I sincerely doubt he will even be arrested on Tuesday, as he's claiming, as well. His own lawyers have already come out today and said they've not been told that, or know anyone else who has. But if you're convinced he will be, and feel you should do what he's asking, then by all means go ahead and buy your tickets to fly to NY or Florida tomorrow and go protest on Tuesday. I won't stop you. I just won't be there, either.
I'll probably even take a few days off from here to see how this plays out, and people to settle down. I purposefully skipped the whole week of the J6 fiasco on here too, and was glad I did. We unfortunately lost SkyPilot over that fiasco, who was probably my favorite poster, but I understand and respect why he left. It's hard to sit here and debate with angry people who think Trump is the only answer to everything, when much of what he stands for is wrong.
Once again, you demonstrate that you continue to miss the point.
I've posted the four steps to tyranny on this thread twice.
We're at #3 - Arresting Political Opponents.
Step #4 is we're next. Dissent of any type will not be tolerated.
President Trump is who they're going after to send a message to the rest of us. "Fall in line, or you're next." That's the message. The FedGov is weaponized against us.
How do you not understand that you're supporting tyranny via inaction?
If not now, when?
If not us, who?
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Shame on you.
You realize that Trump simply beat the media to the punch releasing that, right?
The plan was to have the media ready and waiting to stream the arrest live, and then have the media fawn all over about how "democracy is saved" because Trump's arrested and the country is saved.
It was all supposed to be a surprise big show and Trump ruined that for them.
So now what? Sit back and do nothing or do something about the squashing of political dissent in this country with the threat of jail?
Please. To be blunt about it: stop being a coward.
Well, bye, then.
