This is the latest twist on GOP strategy to turn the nation fascist...

[Trueblue Texan]

"Gaetz posited that the events that led up to the sex-trafficking investigation were likely part of a government "operation" to take him down."

This is the same sort of wackiness old Newt Gingrich demonstrated on Faux News and Bannon offered on his show. This "gonna lock 'em up when we take charge" strategy is no joke and they will definitely do their best to do it, to hell with the rule of law. They aren't bothered much by the law anyway. They first project the behaviors onto others (nothing new there), when they have already embraced such behaviors in their own methods. This "investigate the investigators" threat is a screaming red alert to the rule of law and should alarm every American who gives a shit about democracy. Will we take heed? And what can we, as citizen do about it?

1. This Is Predicated On 2 Things

First, everyone will just go along without any fuss. Second, the people who execute this will follow orders all the way through.

IMO, these are 2 very big ifs. Hell, even Nixon couldn't pull this off and IMHO he was a way more capable politician that these clowns.

2. ... or, the GQP don't mind murdering people in public cold blood by 10s of thousands. The NAZIs went

... on a murdering streak for a while and jailing everyone else to quiet people.

I don't think the GQP wouldn't hesitate doing the same and I mean this year, they are ... NOT ... interested in democracy.

4. OK

So I'll put it to you in terms Republicans can understand. The 2nd amendment applies to ALL citizens of the US.

Republicans seem convinced that all Democrats are effeminate. I'd beg to differ.

3. If we don't get out and vote, then that's a danger

5. Mr. Gaetz is absolutely correct.

It is the job of the government to take down people who are sex trafficking and raping children.
