John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz 3hThe most sobering part about becoming 1930s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

(13,003 posts)U.S. Supreme Court, FBI, Secret Service, Border Patrol, SEC, FTC, FEC, etc etc etc not to mention his cabinet and department heads.
He is just itching for any tiny revolt, (like the skirmish in L.A.), to justify him enacting the Insurrection Act, ignore the Posse Comatatus Act, allow his use of the entire U.S. Military, National Guard, and Military Reserves to establish Martial Law across the nation......
And that would open the door, to him declaring that he doesn't have enough military in the U.S., to start closing U.S. Military Bases in NATO countries, especially ones Putin would want closed, and in the many Countries he Loves to Hate.....ie Germany.

(320,660 posts)they're Canadian?
I read one Canadian man died while in Custody.
Bev54
(13,522 posts)Yes one man died but he had been living in US and had permanent residence status since 1988, I believe. He did have some criminal history. We have not yet heard how he died.

(13,427 posts)Those countries we saved went we marched into their towns etc. , what would that look like here? Would the Italians or French have an underground and bomb ICE buildings or a March on Washington ? How would it look?

(25,715 posts)...this generation will have temporarily faced-down a great evil, a corrupted chaos gnawing at the roots of every institutional body since civilization's start. We could legit count it as another of a few noble feathers in humanity's rather tarnished weather-beaten cap. Such deep societal victory could lead to an era of global reawakening, a time of marvelous progress, of great healing and reconciliation. It could inspire us to turn our substantial resources and talents to confronting other existential challenges of our time and begin to realize our greater potential as a species.
Unfortunately, this chance of generational success comes with commensurate risk. As with other times of nationwide strife, the stakes are high, the anticipated losses are great, and the cost of failure is unrecoverable. We would enter the garden through a gate of fire, yet passionately we seek to enter nonetheless. We've forced the issue, there's no going back to the way things were. How much will burn? How much will remain? That seems like a survivor's story.
