This Thanksgiving weekend has been great with my family and not one time was politics brought up at the table, considering it's a Democrat house.
But I want to share my thought of what could happen with this man we call our President. What is to stop him to round up all the democratic opponents of his tyranny and dispose of them? Stop and think on that for a second..... a man that actually asked another country to hurt his potential opponent in the upcoming election, what else would stop him to the extreme? His deplorables will support it in a heartbeat. It would be a silent coup on democracy, but what guards do we have in place to prevent this? Just think about it for a second....

(7,911 posts)When politics comes up at the poker table, the opinions are unanimous. Every single gun-toting, conservative, Republican poker player at the table hates Trump's guts, and are not shy to say so in no uncertain terms. I find that not only refreshing, but encouraging.

We outnumber them. And he doesnt have that kind of power yet. If he starts having it we will know.

(1,188 posts)Nazi party rounded up the brown shirts and the deplorables are in the same boat; they are Nazified! I doubt it would happen, but it could. What it only takes, it people like our Attorney General and some wackos under his department to do the unthinkable.

(53,410 posts)are the powerful people who are fighting them. Nancy Pelosis political power is probably greater than even Bill Barrs. Our elected Democrats are a solid block, unlike the Republicans who are on their knees paying obeisance to Trump.
Look on our side for the strength thats there. Stop giving in to fear over what the other side has, which are a pack of delusional lies based on falsehoods.
Our side is not supine, just waiting to be crushed.

(1,188 posts)What is not to say trump round up those leaders you spoke of. Yes hell will break lose, but then he would have a true dictatorship. Brainwashed individuals will do anything their Masters say. Look what happened to Germany in the 30s.... Brown shirts leader was gunned down and Nazi Party took control over the military.

The message at that time was we should of been a afraid of his Gestapo henchmen. Now we should be afraid of his incompetence with this virus that is knocking on our doors! Really look for April? Was he referring to a month or one of his bimbos named April?
