Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is invading U.S. states, is committing mass murders and acts of war and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

Right now, speaking out against the abuse of power is the most patriotic thing we can do.
