We already live in a surveillance state.
ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to.
They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Even if Trump hadn't tried to overturn the 2020 election leading to the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol, his statement would be harrowing. Given that history, this is terrifying.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

This line that the right-wing is committing itself to - ICE is nothing like the Gestapo, because Jews were European citizens and immigrants today are not - is so misleading. Jews were stripped of citizenship under Reich Laws, just as immigrants today are having legal status arbitrarily rescinded.

It's like the Tory VIP Lane. Michael Gove was so sure there would be no accountability that, under his leadership, Cabinet Office *institutionalised* a preference in granting contracts for those connected to Tory MPs. Folks with those connections stripped the public purse of generational fortunes.
