People who think this is a normal election need to wake up. We lose our country with a Trump Presidency.

If you think we'll have anything resembling a democratic election in 2020 if Trump gets in you are asleep. This group will restict voter rights until only a selected few have the right. Support unions? No vote for you. Participate in anti war demonstrations? No vote for you. Marched for minority or gay rights? You are no longer allowed to vote.

Or others.

How many are fascists depends on how to interpret words like "protect" or "intertwine."

This is what will happen after Trump manufactures a crisis. Union leaders, liberal teachers and leaders, environmentalists, and many other groups that undermine his agenda will be rounded up in the name of patriotism and national security.

This country faces real problems, but you'll be longing for the days when the government just had the ability to read your email and only getting a court order afterwards when Trump's homeland security forces start purging society of liberals.
