The GOP and Trump are sending signals that they will not tolerate any protests of this administration. They will do to these protest groups what the government did to the Occupy movement. I bet they will remove as many public places as possible to any protesters.
We are seeing some dangerous movement. When someone in the GOP wants to criminalize protests through legislation it sends a bad signal. Trump himself will stir up a backlash against any individual protesting from his supporters. Hell the GOP may lock the Democrats out of Congress by the time all this mayhem is over.
We are facing a GOP/Trump monster like we have never seen before. What kind of country will we have left? When you survey the big picture it does not look good.

The only freedom they really believe in is their own freedom to do whatever they want to anybody and anything = absolute power = tyranny.

(459 posts)So sick of seeing those on the far right on twitter with "freedom" in their bio, then every post is how much they hate black people, Mexicans, Muslims, Jews, LGBT, women, etc.
The only freedom they support is the freedom to stockpile guns and the freedom to control the lives of people that do not think or live life like them.
