    I can’t say I entirely disagree with you, but the death camps thing is a bit much. In a hypothetical scenario where that is actually accurate, wouldn’t that make people like Thomas Crooks a martyr? Are you really willing to go there?

        The really funny thing is that this person was, in another thread, claiming that fascism was their posts getting “censored.”

            If there will be death camps for opposition, people that tried to stop them would be heros right? Military veterans have been called heros for much less.

              This is the democratic process. He won the electoral college and the popular vote. I’m not going to call people heros for trying to assassinate someone for something they haven’t done yet. I’m just making a prediction that I think will come to pass, which I am really hoping is wrong. You are free to say, and think what you want.

                Yes but you said in all likelihood. If the police thinks in all likelihood you are going to kill them, do they wait to take action? I’m not saying you’re wrong but at least be honest about it. Either he’s very likely a full on fascist that will murder people because they opposed him, and in that case people that tried to stop him before a lot more people got murdered would be more like heros, or he isn’t likely to do it and in that case democracy worked as expected and those people were completely wrong. Is it a more of wait and see if the people that tried to stop him may or may not be heros?

                  Yes, because I don’t subscribe to the thought police bullshit, where we show up and arrest someone for something they may or may not do in the future.
