YOU KNOW YOU'RE A FASCIST WHEN...

• You chant "freedom!" while cheering for mass deportations without due process.

• You think banning books and gutting universities is "saving America."

• You believe soldiers should be loyal to a person, not the Constitution.

You demand "law and order" - unless the law is investigating your favorite politicians.

• You want to "lock up" opponents but "pardon" your own criminals.

• You think elections are rigged... unless your guy wins.

• You call yourself a patriot while rooting for a third term like it's a third-world dictatorship.

• You see "woke" as a bigger threat than foreign adversaries.

Trump gets a $1 billion plane.
Qatar (which financed terrorists) gets an Air Force base.
Argentina gets $20 billion.
Americans get a government shutdown and layoffs.

They want people to be too terrorized to go out and join No Kings peaceful protests. In addition, this type of talk encourages MAGA assault-style rifle-bearing wingnuts to go out and shoot.

Midterm elections (if Trump doesn't declare a State of Emergency) will definitely be rigged.

Top text reads:

Trump: "Obama got a prize for doing nothing. Obama got a prize, he didn't even know why he got it -- he got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country. He was not a good president."

Bottom text reads:

Love that it bothers Trump daily that a Black man got something he wants so badly

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”
