40. "Everybody’s their own cop in a way."

Mon Jun 13, 2016, 07:03 PM

Jun 2016

So we're going all the way down that rabbit hole.

The only thing missing from Trump's police state is a government apparatus
to track all the suspicious persons. The deportation round-up squads are
a nod in that general direction.

Take your pick of historic examples. The Inquisition, The Third Reich,
The Soviet Union. That list goes on and on.

If Trump's Teabagger supporters are paying attention, they should be
scared out of their wits.
