"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?"
Remember that? Did you think it was just a meanless brag and he wouldn't actually do it? Yeah you did. 'cause that what you thought about everything else he said. This man has openly broadcasted every single one of his thoughts, and somehow people keep acting surprised at his actions. I see news every single day about a new awful thing he or his administration has done. Newsflash, people: WE KNOW. We've known for the last decade.
"Renee Good was murdered!" Yeah? He said he could get away with murder, now he's making it ok for his guys to kill whoever they want - and he and they are getting away with it.
"He's arresting citizens unlawfully!" Yeah? You guys have had concentration camps for how many years now? Did you think the unlawful kidnappings, deportations and murders were going to stop at one category of people he doesn't like?
"He's making people live in fear!" Hey remember when he started putting children in cages? Good times.
None of what's happening today is surprising. It's digusting, wrong, and it shouldn't be happening, but it's not surprising. And the US citizens are doing almost nothing about it. Some are, thank goodness for those brave souls, but clearly not enough. And I've seen a lot of people in the US claiming they can't do anything because they're scared of ICE and they have a family to take care of so they can't afford to be killed or lose their jobs for opposing the Supreme Leader.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. Do you not see that? What do you think "fear tactics" means? Do you think it stops at physical violence? Trumps wants for you to be scared. He wants for you to do nothing because you fear the consequences.
And the infuriating thing is: you're lying to yourselves. You're seing yourselves as "good family men" or "pacifists", "moderate", "law-abiding citizens who believe in settings things right the proper way", but the truth is, you're cowards. Cowards, and morons. Your stance right now is "I can't do anything or consequences will make my life worse and/or stop". Guys. People. Buddies. My fellow humans.
YALL ARE ABOUT TO GET FUCKED.
Things are going to get worse, and you know how I know that? BECAUSE THEY FUCKING ARE! Do you feel like your situation has improved the past couple of years? Do you sincerely believe that if you do nothing, things will just magically fix themselves? What do you think happens next? Trump just kidnapped another country's president for his own benefit, and now he's making threats to kidnap and entire country, on the grounds that he wants to? Of course, surely, he's not gonna do it. It's not like the other million times he said crazy shit that were definitely not gonna happen and then did happen anyway, this time, for sure, it's not gonna happen, right? Right? RIGHT?
You HAVE to realize how close to WWIII we're getting. And this time, you won't be able to stay away from it, because you're the evil we're gonna be fighting. And that gives you two options: a) Trump decides to fire nuclear nukes and the whole world goes to shit (it's a bit of another topic but I genuinely believe he would), or b) we go to war, you lose, because you will lose, and then you guys will all pay the price. You're worried about keeping your job now? Wait till you get food via meal tickets. Assuming you didn't die in the bombings.
You have to understand that this is not just the US that's going to shit, it's dragging the whole world with it. This is a "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" type situation. If you're just letting it happen, if your only response is to post on social media "oh no Trump did a bad thing again", then the blood is on your hands too. And you have no excuse. Fear isn't an excuse. And you had no excuse to have this guy elected in the first place.
Trump's regime is compared to Nazi Germany for good reason (does nobody know what the SS were? Seriously, take a quick look.), but Hitler was a smart, hyper-competent man, who distinguished himself during WWI, and spent his entire life working on his political beliefs. He was a massive piece of shit, and died a coward (guy literally ragequit life), but he knew what he was doing. He was a competent, self-made man, he was great with kids and he loved dogs. If you were ok with his garbage ideology and/or if you let fear get the better of you living in a country in major crisis, it made sense to believe in him. You guys elected a walking talking PSA for malfunctionning tan beds who has failed at absolutely everything, including his first term, and has always openly been solely focused on his own profit. Germany could not have forseen what happened, you guys are following a fucking roadmap. Hitler was smart and steady about his rise to power, your guy BROADCASTS THAT HE'S GOING TO CANCEL ELECTIONS. And surely, SURELY, he's not actually going to do it, right? Right? RIGHT?
We're at the stage where if you compare your president to Hitler, Hitler looks good in comparison. Let that sink in. Take a second. Hitler was a better man and a better leader than Trump.
This is making me so angry it's making my head spin. The guy is guilty of ALL CRIMES THAT EXIST. It's to the point where he's making it a game to commit new crimes to make everybody forget about the previous crimes. He is a child rapist, are we... are we all clear on that? He's raped children. He's encouraged TERRORISM. What do you think Jan 6 was? How do you call open defiance of the Republic and trying to reverse a lawful result by force? Trump publicly encouraged that and then pardonned the MURDERERS that MURDERED a cop there. He participated in and witnessed murdering a baby. Can you even wrap your head about how evil and twisted that man is? I know I can't.
And you're scared to act because you're afraid of making things worse? That pathetic, greed-driven, morals-deprived, poorly shaped homunculus is playing Sims with your country and fucking things up for everyone. And you're all acting like doing nothing but complain about it is going to make it better.
Well, have fun not voting in a few months after elections are getting cancelled. Sure hope ICE doesn't end up knocking on your door!
Don't get me wrong: I understand fully how atrocious the situation is for you. And heavens know I don't want to be in your place. It's wrong and it's sad and it's terrifying that this has happened to you, but that's the thing: it has happened. Scary, sad and painful as it may be, you have to do something. Or the entire world is going to blow up.
