He’s coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You’ll be safe if you’re a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he’s coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.

    Here’s the kicker: a substantial number of Americans actually want a dictatorships run by him or someone like him, and they’ve wanted it since the end of the Civil War. That’s why Trump is openly promoting it: he knows it’s what will get him elected.

    The left badly needs to realize that other people do not think like them or have the same priorities, goals or worldview as they do.

    The right simply are not our countrymen and you all need to stop pretending they are before they fucking kill you all.

      Hear fucking hear. Conservatives have adopted violence as part of their ideology. If the normal people are not able to prevent them from taking power and are not prepared to physically resist them, conservatives will gleefully kill us wholesale.

      Conservatives do not value the lives of humans and animals the way normal people do. They will not spare you because you are their coworker or their relative. They will shrug their shoulders as your existence is made illegal. We have watched conservatives do this exact thing time and time again throughout history.

      The left badly needs to realize that other people do not think like them or have the same priorities, goals or worldview as they do.

      This is the wrong way to look at it. The left knows that other people are different. It’s a core tenant to the idea of liberty.

      The understanding that people aren’t like them, don’t share the same priorities, goals or worldview is it’s strength. It can be a heavy burden and painful to understand that people would kill you for allowing them to be different.

      But the alternative is only pain and suffering. In the eyes of Trump, there is only one way to gain relevance. And that path is firmly set in, with an edge that would be dead to cross. Because with them you can only think one way. Deviation is NOT acceptable.

      So what is the option? Those that know will be slow to act but action will come.

      Free Men always fight like badgers and the caged Man will be a slave to his master.
