EVERYONE in this country need to let their Senators and Reps in the House KNOW that this is wrong! DEMAND that they answer you. If not, VOTE them out where you can.

Trump's goons are NOT Gestapo:

1. Gestapo were more physically fit
2. Gestapo weren't too cowardly to show their faces
3. Gestapo had cooler uniforms.

Note: I'm not saying these goons are worse than the Gestapo, they just WANT to be.

Trump is using "Gestapo" tactics against people in this country by giving Police, Border Patrol, and ICE more POWER to indiscriminately throw people to the ground, strip parents from their children, terrorize children at school, send them to deportation centers, etc.

What Trump is also doing is terrorizing citizens of this country, regardless of age, ethnicity, etc., is to FEAR people, HATE people, and TURN on one another. Just like what Hitler ordered the Gestapo to do in the countries he invaded prior and during WWII.
