Trump wants to be able to kill his opponents, we are his opponents.

“I also think he admired him greatly. I think he wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him. So I think it was a lot of that. In my experience with him, he loved the dictators, he loved the people who could kill anyone, including the press.”


Trump press sctry said this.

Imagine if Obama press scty said this.

GOP are enemies of the human race.

Their hatred and bloodlust are that deep. And Tucker and Hannity would be cheerleading them every step of the way there. Which is why we cannot allow them under any circumstances to win 2024.

The disturbing thing is that a lot of his followers seem to think the same way. Every murderous dictator seems to have a lot of sympathizers in their country. They have shown their willingness to use violence to overthrow an election. They lost that battle, but make no mistake they have not given up

be 100% OK with our deaths or imprisonment.

We might have waited too long to accept this fact and to talk about it openly as to prevent it, though.

Some of us spent the 4 yrs of the traitors presidency saying that this is the goal and many on our side often said we were over the top. Happened here and elsewhere.

It is like the next thing I am certain will happen, the GOP will not certify any election they lose in a state where they control the election process and have a majority in state government.

If we are not prepared for that, and I dont think we are, all hell will break loose and very, very bad things will happen.
