Wow we moved from the “first they came for the…” to “and then they came for me” in 60 seconds flat.

MODERATORS
Americans need to get organized and get their shit together FAST. What's left of their democracy is disappearing daily.
Their democracy has been gone for a while. They're just getting around to noticing now.
It's ironic that the country with the most guns per citizen is the country least likely to defend its democracy with those guns.
The lesson of history, which we ignored, is to first come for the fascists.
Then we don't have to see that fucking copypasta everywhere.
In this real-world case, the “indicia” (indicators) of future political violence listed in the report are:
- anti-Americanism,
- anti-capitalism,
- anti-Christianity,
- support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
- extremism on migration,
- extremism on race,
- extremism on gender
- hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
- hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
- hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
Given that the fascist administration defines "extremism" on migration, race, and gender to basically be the absence of bigotry and the presence of rationality, those are ALL positive viewpoints possessed by most of the sane and reasonable people in the world.
Yeah this just straight up designates every human (and some animals probably) as terrorists
we want to put migrants in prisons surrounded by alligators
not extremist
we don't want that
violently extremist stance on migration, pre-crimed in my jorts
anti-Christianity
Amusing how much being a true follower would contradict the first two "indicators."
Swearing no oaths (of allegiance), to a flag (an idol), not rejoicing in the deaths of others and eschewing violence, not coveting and constantly lusting after what you don't have. Treating even one's enemies with love...I could go on.
The real Christians are going to be hated and punished heavily and brutally by this regime. Caesar nor Herod were on the side of Christ and His followers, why would these twisted, evil fools be any different?
Time to radicalize, brothers and sisters.
Christ only threatened Hell one time, in Matthew 25. He says people will be damned for the following reasons:
- Not feeding the hungry
- Not welcoming foreigners
- Not caring for the sick
- Not showing compassion to the imprisoned
How is the GOP the party of Christ again?
And the only time he got so pissed off that he started whipping some fools was when the moneychangers were profiting from religion like pretty much everyone in the fascist GOP are now.

The short version is that they want to kill everyone who knows more than they do, and that's most of us.
He has precrime in his pants
I think it's very much post-crime at this point.
That's where the orange tint comes from
If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, no one is guilty of crimes against the state.
That's really not how that works.
It's really more like... If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, then anyone can be imprisoned at any time.
(All at the discretion of those in charge.) This is really a much worse situation for everyone.

How does he get punished? He's the most anti-capitalist I know! I mean Free Trade and Open Borders is a Capitalist Theory!! He's anti-free trade, close all the borders! I really don't understand hate politicians.
Legal loophole: it's not anti-capitalistic if you are just stupid
If you don’t be a slave for billionaires you’re a tewwowist. That’s fweedom.
Oh no, dont thweton me. :3
I mean, he is an expert on crime.
What even is a "pre-crime" and since when does it exist?
By asking this question you have committed it.

I cannot wait to learn he died. Painfully hopefully.
I will take up celebratory drinking for one day (I don't drink normally)
The country will be the drunkest it's been since the start of the temperance movement

I wish soooooo deeply that a Trump Gestapo is reading all my anti capitalist and anti organized religious comments. I'm so out and proud it'll be great.
Oh my God, did somebody let him watch Minority Report? His grasp on reality is, shall we say, not strong.
Crime before crime? So not a crime? Is raping children a post crime. Asking for a friend?
Raping children is soon to be legal and then they drop the Epstein files. See, nothing weird going on in there. Just the thing we all enjoy
If you're wearing the right coloured hat it's virtually impossible to commit any kind of crime at all.
Ballsy from a guy who concentrates economic decision making into his own cabinet. The word for that is statism not capitalism
except capitalism as a system has always included that "statism" isn't a economic system separate from your imaginary"capitalism"

The emperor has no clothes, and the frogs are starting to notice that maybe the water is a little hotter than it's worth.
Lol. This guy needs to be tried and executed for treason.
Oh mortal man
You can bury your humanity
But you cannot outrun your mortality
Is there a category of pre crimes? You'd think being associated with the most egregious offenders would land you in such places. This could get interesting for republicans if they start tracking themselves and employing honesty.

Grandpa wants to change his diaper before it's been shit.
Finally we can throw the whole admin in jail for being commies?
What a fucking dolt
And Trump's idea of capitalism is assigning a single-sourced contract to a crony.
That is, to the extent that dim-bulb Trump could ever be said to have an idea.
