Bwahaha... Military patrol in DC followed with a boombox playing Darth Vader's Imperial March

94. Not going to argue with you or try to get the last word in...

Who's saying not to resist? I sincerely worry about the future of this country and whether we're headed for a Civil War. I'm a child of the 80's and remember illusions of Red Dawn, fighting the occupiers as a Wolverine (google it, if you're young). Part of me never forgot...

Let's say the shit gets real. The opposing side will be our friends and neighbors as you say. Those fellows walking down the street in that video represent a very powerful machine that has the equipment, guns, helicopters, tanks, etc. to make any attempt at actual resistance a very, very short experience for you and me. I fear that an illegal order being given is only a matter of time. Our best hope will be those that remember their oath to the Constitution and reject Trump's autocratic shift. They will be people you least expect. I doubt they're on DU but going right for the jugular with "Nazi" is not going win any hearts and minds of those we really need on our side. We both agree that Nazi = enemy. If they feel that they're viewed as the enemy, then they'll start to label us more and more as the enemy. That is not a good place to be, my friend.

Those guys were ordered to go to DC. They're casually walking/patrolling a perfectly safe street because they were ordered to. People did not look terrorized, like Warsaw Ghetto terrorized. Because they're doing their job, they're Nazis.... By that line of thinking, are you saying that all of the military is Nazi because their current boss is Trump? Those soldiers definitely need to be reminded that they're being used to intimidate civilians on American soil. Some of them might be conservative leaning but they know that they're being used in a way that they didn't sign up for and is not right. I have faith only because the alternative will mean death or imprisonment of hundreds of thousands.

I actually met a real life Nazi. He was a SS motherfucker who was part of a carpentry crew I was working with during a summer job in 1986. He was old but the hatred still burned RED fucking hot in his eyes. The vile stuff he used to say to a Jewish coworker who joined us for a short period would take your breath away. Even the older Austrian foremen feared him and they were some of the biggest, toughest men I ever met. Fortunately, the crew assignments varied and I didn't have to work with him long. I was 16 and desperately needed the well paying job. I think seeing that hatred in real life opened my eyes at a young age and helped make me into the person I am today. It also set the bar for dropping the term Nazi pretty high.
