You think he pays taxes at the same rate as the rest of us losers?

I sort of feel the same way but still wish I could leave. With a disabled kid that needs care and not much money I’m not sure how I could leave at this point.

Tell me what to do and I’ll do it.

I get what you and cobysev are saying but it seems to me that restraint didn’t work out so well for Germany. We do live in a different time though, where the atrocities and violence by the government is easy to see. Everyone has a phone and access (until they end that too) to the videos. I think part of what matters is if the military would side with Trump. Which is why I wonder if quicker action is better before Trump finishes purging the military. Hitler had the support of the military at first so it made it easy for him to do many of the things he did, it was only later that the German military leaders opposed him (not all of them).

I guess what it comes down to is how many people are we willing to watch die/be maimed before something happens. I am personally not sure that even if the Dems win the midterms anything will change. They seem mostly spinless to me and far more about saying they are anti Trump than being anti Trump, again not all of them. I have been at to many protests where Dem reps will be on the mic saying things like “are we going to let him get away with this” or something similar and people are yelling and cheering. All I keep thinking is he is getting away with it and has been getting away with it and you are not really doing anything.

Mostly I guess if I am being honest I am frustrated and worried and do not see a way any of this ends well.

Serious question here not trying to be a troll/dick. It feels like a one sided war already. ICE has killed or wounded multiple people now and nothing has been done about it. In fact those in power have said nothing will be done about it. The police force seems to be on the side of ICE (please correct me if I’m wrong I’m not in MN) At what point do we draw a line and say enough is enough, take one of ours we take one of yours. I’m asking because I don’t know, it just feels like we are all yelling and marching and not much is changing.

Frey said. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”

Really, the state and city government are not fighting anyone. They are complaining to a federal government who does not give a shit about them or the people they represent. If they were actually fighting the feds we would see police siding with the people, power cut off to ICE facilities, and local arrests of federal agents who are assulting people. What they are doing is loudly complaining while doing nothing to protect people who are rightfully defending themselves and their neighbors.
