Yep. Trump just signed us up for ethnic cleansing. I’m sure it will go fine. Of course, it won’t be MAGA going to die. Just the suckers and losers that volunteered to serve their country.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943
With one hand Trump is taking away protections from former officials who have faced death threats, like Dr. Fauci; with the other he's signaling political violence is okay — pardoning Jan 6 rioters who bludgeoned police officers. This is not a game. It is very dangerous.
This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Sometimes the most appropriate words have already been written
‘The Highest Appreciation Is Not to Utter Words But to Live by Them’
“Let us be humbly thankful for inherited ideals” and resolve to share “those ideals with our fellow human beings throughout the world.”

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention
America just told young generations it pays to be a criminal. Trump can incite a violent insurrection and be rewarded with the Presidency.
It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.
