It’s most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has “socialist” in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it’s also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you’re the last to be targeted.

Without civil asset forfeiture and wasteful budgets, would be hard to militarize as much as many US departments

Can’t wait till martial law? Fascist in Chief salivates like he did over Ivanka in that TV interview

In case that dude/person’s opinions suck we’re generally a lil nicer than reddit which is great for all of us

1: always be on lookout for slightest challenge to authority

2: arrest whoever possible

Obviously we’ve seen videos where the opposite is true too, not an absolutist, but ya def the MO for many

Widespread interviewing as a practice would really set a tone right?
