Remember the old saying about those who

[moniss]

fail to learn from history. That history can be 2016 or 1933. They've already told us they're making lists, readying for purges, readying for retribution with charges against critics etc. Have we ever seen anything with this group that would indicate they're making bad jokes? What things in history do they embrace? What things do they say they want with respect to a Justice Department and Generals in the military? Have we ever seen a reluctance from them in the first term from purging people and replacing them with unqualified sycophants?

But amazingly we have people around the world and in our US media who think that those of us calling people to be forewarned are somehow making unfounded arguments. When I smell smoke, feel extreme heat and know that you have set fire to my house before I don't need f**king video tape and confessions to be acting reasonably in warning about who is torching me again.

1. Dems must use the legal system's susceptibility to delay at least as well as

TSF did. I hope they have lots of lawyers now working on other ways to resist and thwart the authoritarian and inept moves TSF is making.

[Think. Again.]

2. So far, we're not even willing to double-check the questionable election results...

I doubt they will get much pushback on whatever they are going to do.

[Silent Type]

5. Don't know about that. I think majority of Democrats trust results, as horrible as they are.

Why waste energy when we have things to fight where we can change things

[Think. Again.]

7. What's the old wisdom?

"Trust, but verify".

[Silent Type]

11. Think there are enough checks in system as is.

[Think. Again.]

12. I bet you do.

3. I suspect that there might be an Event

That will make us realize that our lives are at risk. The question is - would we be aware enough to realize it.

I honestly believe that the MAGA crowd would kill us - and the GOP would provide the licensing for it. The Media would provide the propaganda to justify it.

I am waiting to see how the Military responds to the wholesale dismantling of the nation - foreign and domestic.

Plus, dumb-ass doesn’t realize that the Chinese can cash in our bonds, treasury bills and what happens then.

Domestically, Trump can screw the nation - which we deserve for putting a psychopath in power - but internationally he can get us killed with his stupidity/lack of knowledge.

One thing that might be a trigger event is that the camps that will be initially be used for illegal immigrants, he then starts using for political enemies or non-supporters of the MAGA agenda.

I’m tired…

[Think. Again.]

8. If the nation does get past him, it will be in shambles.

4. Was talking to a friend about this...

Former English teacher...
"You don't really believe they are going to have detainment camps?"

Yes. Yes I do. They'll start with brown people, preferably Muslim, Hispanic, or Chinese. But they will eventually get to people who donated to Democrats.

"That couldn't happen here"

Dumb blond bastard might skate but this donor who tried to start a union will definitely end up in a re-education center if I stay in the country.

6. I've tried to get people to understand that

the old phrase "It can't happen here" is just words. I begged and pleaded many times for people who didn't live through the '50's through the '70's to listen to the old people like me who are so insistent about people needing to understand the urgency and seriousness of what was happening. We all tried so hard.

[Think. Again.]

9. Didn't they use to say "it can't happen here" about things like 9/11?

10. Right youare. nt
