I know I've been accused of being doom and gloom but this seriously fucked.
They are arresting judges and are talking about arresting journalists and are currently sending innocent people to foreign torture prisons.
Not going to lie I'm genuinely becoming very scared and just as equally frozen with uncertainty. I'm all out of answers. I don't know what this could mean but I am absolutely positive our country is in serious trouble.

(82,416 posts)My jaw dropped when I read the breaking news about the judge being arrested.
And I am a cynic and keep thinking there is nothing the psychopaths in charge can
do to surprise me. Then they surprise me.
Yes we are in serious trouble, and it is going to get worse before it gets better.
If it gets better.

Often, the words in our current dictionary, don't meet the moment.

(920 posts)I am pretty dedicated to nonviolent resistance but people should exercise their second amendment rights and defend themselves. If people are being disappeared without due process and the so called authorities are acting in violation of the law, people have a right to self defense. There is also a concept in political philosophy called the right of revolution. It was the basis of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. The first one. The Project 2025 people have called it the Second American Revolution. If that is true, they are the Red Coats and Trump is the Tyrant King George. We are the Blue Coat Patriots, protecting Democracy and the real America.
