As the post cycles through what Kennedy is doing that represent this danger, it's the greatest hits from our own posts on Kennedy.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.
If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.
This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
