I said it when he got elected a second time, that his plans for the forced removal of millions of migrants would require a Stasi level secret Police on a scale that would be somewhere between private militia and Brown Shirt.
Lo and behold that’s exactly what Trump has mutated ICE into.
The argument that ‘illegals’ must be dragged from the Street, the Church, the School, the Workplace, Hospitals or Homes by masked police who can use deadly force with impunity and rendition you away to a foreign torture prison is nothing short of appeasement to fascists.
Trump has pumped $75billion extra into ICE making them the largest funded feudal law enforcement in Amerika while using extreme tactics in Democrat States, which generates protest which Trump then sends in the National Guard over and when the National Guard gets protested against, he threatens to use the Insurrection Act to send the US Military against their own citizens on American soil.
At this stage of history repeating, you can’t pretend Trump isn’t evolving before your eyes into a full blown fascist in real time.
After shooting civilians and beating them, this is what they are doing now, arresting the Christians prepared to stand against this level of terror…

…consider the madness of ICE arresting native Americans…
Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention
…where are we at right now?
This is fucking insane, and cruel, and barbarous and people still defend Trump.
They still defend his actions.
They are prepared to allow the state to use this level of violence against human beings as long as it isn’t aimed at them.
People will argue that it’s over there so why care what Trump does?
Let me respond to that as simply as I can.
If you can’t see the global danger of Trump openly becoming fascist, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
These are dark, dark, dark times.
Taking sides is becoming imperative now.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
This is precisely why I’ve been banging on for years about getting a proper fit for purpose safety net in place to survive the impending world war stupid.
Shit is most definitely on a collision course with the fan and, as a nation, we are woefully under prepared – akin to the UK in 1939, training soldiers with broomsticks because they didn’t have any rifles.
State owned or nfp wind/solar farms, hi tech market gardens, re/up skilled prefab home builders with so much more needed and opportunities open – Like nfp supermarket to ensure the duopoly never see a cent of a beneficiaries money again etc.
Get the solo mums and dads out of the ghettos, being preyed upon by slumlords and the worst of us, give them minimum wage jobs for the 20 hours work they need (30 shared between a couple) to get the $35k minimum family tax credit and after 3 years of money management, they get to own their new company built home on an hereditary lease – Fuck the rental market and portfolio holders into the bargain, so even sweeter.
‘History repeats the first time as tragedy, the second as farce,’ Karl Marx
Some of us are still old enough to remember the shootings at Kent State University when a Republician President- proven as corrupt – invaded a sovereign country (Cambodia) and paramilitary forces(The Ohio National Guard) shot dead four students protesting against US aggression on other countries.
Much of the US National media blamed the students for provoking the upright, law-abiding young stalwarts of the National Guard( decent American boys facing drug crazed hippies). None of the shooters were ever convicted of a crime.
Repeated as farce? However much you may detest Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger how do they compare to Donald Trump and JD Vance?
Makes you wonder what the avarage American thinks is going to happen, when the next election is due.
It would surely be a good gesture, if the American military top brass made it clear, that they will uphold the constitution and their military oath, by protecting America against it’s enemies, both foreign and domestic – should Trump be considering any fantasies about using his private army to hijack the democratic process.
