      That’s why Trump cronies are in charge of the DOJ, FBI, military etc. Even peaceful protests against thing Trump does or says will be squashed. Welcome to 1984!

          America is such a failed state we couldn’t even do that part right.

        No, they’ll just find that every little law that they break is suddenly discovered and the IRS is auditing them.

        No need to kill people, if you investigate anyone hard enough you’ll find some federal law that they’re breaking.

        A few years in prison will keep you out of the way until it’s over

    Which protests are the illegal ones? Also, should I let my hematologist oncologist about the no masks law?

      If it’s one the current administration doesn’t like. Some examples:

      • Pro-Palestine
      • ANti-fascism
      • Pro-Ukraine
      • Pro-reproductive rights
      • Pro equality
      • LGBTQ

      Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.

      See USSR in the 90s.

    They’re going to shut down the department education, they’re going to stop all federal funding.

      Yeah, kind of an empty threat. It’s just picking who gets to start not having federal funding first.

      And the only way to make the protests “illegal” is to seed fake violence into them.

      It’s just step one on a list of steps to get to schools not having any federal funds slow enough that people don’t get enough “up in arms” to actually stop it.

      They know liberals have to be pushed pretty hard to actually be violent, so they are pushing 90% as hard as that, but constantly.

    So states and municipalities with federally-funded colleges now have a financial incentive to legalize all protests, right?

    The whole “no masks” comment immediately made me think of “no take backs “. Seems fitting for the oversized orange man-child.

      They’re just waiting for it so they can have massive crackdowns, they are counting on it.
