I would just ask that we all know where he and JD are during the purge.

They can't be like Ted Cruz and run off to the Caribiana during this. They have to be available and should lose SS protections.
I think he means this to be a one way purge.
 
1. Because this is not a thread about your colonoscopy. If you want to start a thread about objects being shoved up your ass, in a medical setting or perhaps otherwise, you are free to do so. But if you post on a thread about Trump's promised jackboot thuggery, and you are a Trump supporter, I would think it appropriate to ask you about it.

In fact, I will help you out. I'll start the thread for you

2. Why are you confident that Trump won't do what he says he will do? What the people closest to him yearn to do? What his base demands that he do?

He said he was going to build a wall. Congress didn't cooperate, so he seized money from the Defense Department to do it.
He said he was going to renegotiate NAFTA. He did. He got the same result, basically, but the point is that he did what he said he would do.
He said he wanted to weaken NATO. Mission accomplished.
He said he was going to ban Muslims. He did. His first two attempts were enjoined. His third attempt was greenlighted by the Supreme Court only because it didn't ban ALL Muslims from ANYWHERE.

So Trump, unfortunately, has a record of keeping his promises. Why do you think he won't?
So, rather than simply letting a small, side-joke not derail the thread, you try to derail it? Why not just let it go, like everyone else did?
 
This is a good summation
Disagree. Totalitarian regimes frequently employ random state-sanctioned violence to attain submission from the population. It is startlingly effective.

Trump says a lot of stupid shit, but he also says a lot of things that are genuine and dangerous. Trump really enjoyed ordering federal agents to kill a suspect without trial in 2020. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/15/politics/trump-fugitive-shooting/index.html

This is one of those huge red flags that people dismiss at their own peril. Literally at your personal peril.

You’re giving him too much credit.

Go on. Explain this line of thought. The guy who routinely praises authoritarian strong men, has used violence to attempt to thwart the will of the people, and has guaranteed to give law enforcement absolute immunity is not serious about using state violence to achieve his aims?

Why shouldn't I take this seriously?

I don’t believe it’s some sort of brilliant master plan. He’s a wanna be tough guy dumb fuck.

It's hardly a "master plan" to use the state's monopoly on violence to get people to do what you want. Even a moron can grasp that.

And he's absolutely willing to do it.

He likes the power and he's definitely not feeling anybody's pain.
 
Call me when it happens.
I guess you were asleep in 2020.

Yes trump is as horrific as a human can be.
Yes he would gladly kill anyone who doesn’t agree with him.
Maybe you are right but I can’t give him credit for being strategic in his hatefulness.
