All because a conservative FBI guy got artsy with seashells, joking about kicking a Russian ASSet anarchist out of the peoples house, Russian ASSet dumPy wants to treat DEMS as terrorists.
You just don't seem to get it. In TrumpWorld - which is essentially the world as understood by Al Capone - dissent IS terrorism. No 'turning' is required. Dissent weakens the unity of 'our family', which diminishes our ability to resist the aggressions of the other families who are always trying to muscle in on our turf. Let me explain through a tiny 650 word essay that I baked earlier:
-----
THRASMYCHUS MEETS EVOLUTION AND ZERO-SUM THINKING:
"There is only so much of X (money, food, oil, water, arable land, etc.), so for me to get more of X the rest of you must take less; and through that imbalance my genes will be able to evolutionarily dominate yours. I will outcompete you for sexual access, and so have more offspring, and will also be able to give my additional offspring competitive advantages – in diet, education and so on – that will ensure their ability to dominate your offspring; from which the cycle will then repeat, and so on.
This is basic and inescapable reality; ‘the way of the world’ as imposed on us – so, intrinsically, not my fault – by the competitive mechanism of evolution. Resistance to it is self-defeating, in that it can lead only to competitive disadvantage, and thereby ultimately to genetic elimination for the resisters. Its logical corollary is dominance as our only honest directive. If – through my failure to lie, cheat, steal, betray, etc. – I miss some competitive advantage that is not missed by my less scrupulous adversary then, and to my cost, he will gain in dominance.
So there is finally nothing but dominance. Reason, fairness, honesty, altruism and empathy are merely naïve comforters for the weak and foolish. There are many more of them than of me, so – as recommended by Machiavelli – I must be able to convincing fake these weaknesses as required to increase my dominance. But I’m way too smart and wise to fall for them."
I offer this as a statement of the Trump/Vance/Musk/Putin/Theil/Orban position in the unlikely event that they were to suddenly become willing to express it with honesty and precision. It is of course a large and stinking pile of garbage. It ignores everything good, noble and rational that our species has learned through and since the European Enlightenment. But until and unless our side can sufficiently recover its intellectual mojo for honest articulation of the powerful arguments which show it to be such a pile then our world will continue in its present downward spiral.

To make it fully explicit: We will continue to lose until/unless we can summon up our courage to attack our opponents at the level of their central philosophical fuel and ammo dump.
We who believe in Liberty and justice have to do everything we can to fight back against this want to be Dictator. He wants so bad in my opinion to be like Putin. The issue is Putin is way more intelligent than 47 is. Some of the very people who voted for him will be hurt by his policies. You wanted him now lets see how some of you will get screwed by his policies. The old saying “ Be careful what you ask for “
It is a serious question. How can a man elected for presidency in our democracy, whose Constitution is founded on FOUR freedoms, live so fearful a life, so full of desires to control outcomes that he basically ignores 1) any move that demands or invites participation that could lead to a substantive negation. and 2) condemns (or hopes to) any movement or person who is not in agreement. What is happening to our Democracy in front of our eyes? Who are the people in our government today that could STOP this insanity we are witnessing? Those who refuse to act, are too intelligent not to know what they are involved in....and why.
November Is Everything…if we make it! | Update/edit: It’s NOT Everything - Everything includes calling out the HARMS pointedly for what they are: e.g., The Maga Murder Bill instead of The Big Ugly Bill.
1) Encourage employers of all sizes to close on election day (with or without pay)
2) Encourage all people to identify & assist those vulnerable with Obtaining Required ID/Documentation
3) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable with Access To Physical Polls - ready to pivot to last minute changing of poll locations without notice
4) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable by Providing ‘Cover’ and Representation for them at The Polls
5) Encourage all - Starting NOW - Well Ahead Of The Midterms, that these measures May Be Necessary and To Anticipate the Subversion and likelihood of Federal Agents being Present at The Polls
6) Encourage all to phone camera image their Voting Machine Receipt Scroll Pages Where Possible
7) PRE-address messaging to Gen Z on a mass scale to minimize turnout insufficiency / Stimulate Their Future politics and Power To Effect Change
Critically: National awareness should be a priority of communication that all people absolutely insist on holding the midterm elections regardless of any “national emergency” that is declared to postpone or prevent them!
Thank you for what you do. I am trying to amplify your messages by not only doing the things you suggest myself, but sharing them on my Substack.
Not happening. We will not let you mess with the constitution

Yup, we've been headed there for a long time now and now the final nail is going in the coffin of free speech.
