When Trump first got elected in 2016 I felt the corporate media was totally missing the plot and the danger a fascist like Trump represented. So much so, I started a word press blog and recorded my thoughts for posterity. Boy did I get it right. theamericanantagonist.wordpress.com/2016/11/28/d...
Next Democrat to run for President should remind everyone that Trump and the GOP elevated the President to the level of king and that they will use said powers to bring equity and just to the People. Tax these companies out of business, the convict their leaders for fraud and abuse. Make examples.
Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.
Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

After the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, the number of ice watch volunteers in Minnesota went up, not down.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings
It's a 2-1 ruling
Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump)
Minority: Douglas (Obama)

Trump is trying to seize control of our elections because he knows he is going to lose.
These are maneuvers of an authoritarian desperate to cling on to power.
But we will not be dissuaded.
We will not be intimidated.
We will stand up for our democracy.

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism.

I went on Fox News this morning to tell conservatives what is happening to their nation. ICE is out of control - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens, and obliterating the constitutional rights Republicans claim to care about. Every citizen should want this to stop.
