        • We have Steve Bannon suggesting that Trump send ICE to polling locations on election day .
        • ICE is currently purchasing large warehouses across the United States so they have more capacity to jail people.
        • ICE is now one of the most funded military orgs in the world.
        • Trump issued NPSM-7, which lists a bunch of ordinary things as terrorist activities
        • ICE agents have started following activists to their homes and intimidating them

        So…

        What, everyone?

        Yes. He will keep broadening the definition of “terrorist” and narrowing the definition of “citizen.” Not saying it will work, but I believe he will try. I think there’s plenty of evidence showing that it’s a real threat.

        They make examples of a few to cow the rest into submission. Classic authoritarianism playbook.

          Hasn’t worked. People are furious about the deaths and the kidnappings.

          And something people don’t understand about the East German regime — people calculate that half the country was spying on the other, implying the stasi was half the population. But it was neighbors denouncing each other as counterrevolutionaries over petty squabbles.

          Donald has accidentally united people against him, not divided us.

            Dude, totally. I’m just talking about the playbook they’re using. I’m not saying it’s remotely working for them.
