    “Agitators” gives me Romania pre 1989 vibes.

    The whole “no masks” comment immediately made me think of “no take backs “. Seems fitting for the oversized orange man-child.

        No, they’ll just find that every little law that they break is suddenly discovered and the IRS is auditing them.

        No need to kill people, if you investigate anyone hard enough you’ll find some federal law that they’re breaking.

        A few years in prison will keep you out of the way until it’s over

      They’re just waiting for it so they can have massive crackdowns, they are counting on it.

      That’s why Trump cronies are in charge of the DOJ, FBI, military etc. Even peaceful protests against thing Trump does or says will be squashed. Welcome to 1984!

          America is such a failed state we couldn’t even do that part right.

    Whelp, better make it all super duper legal universities, colleges and schools. Put that law on the books that all protests are legal.

      When it comes to the protests against Israel’s genocide, the track record of US universities is not good. Universities have been so terrified of losing lucrative Israel-connected sponsorship that they are the first to call for harsh punishments for the students. So I wouldn’t count on university administrations to push back hard against this assault on free speech, rather than taking it out on the students.

      Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.

      See USSR in the 90s.

    For anyone keeping track, this is one of the pillars of the Curtis Yarvin Butterfly Revolution. Massive fines that grind endowments to dust is a key Broligarchy strategy.

      If it’s one the current administration doesn’t like. Some examples:

      • Pro-Palestine
      • ANti-fascism
      • Pro-Ukraine
      • Pro-reproductive rights
      • Pro equality
      • LGBTQ

    Which protests are the illegal ones? Also, should I let my hematologist oncologist about the no masks law?
