Call 'em what they are, "Brownshirts" / "You Can't Close America" rallies.

They are a minority of a minority trying to force their Fuhrer's way of thinking on all of us
in order to gain a political and economic advantage for the right wing. Trump, Betsy DeVos,
Eric Prince, Vlad, Stephen Miller, and low level clowns like Owen Shroyer are trying to whip up these beer
gut warriors into a strike force under the guise that their constitutional rights are being taken away with
the shut down in response to the C-19 pandemic. We have seen this movie before and it was the
rise of Hitler* in Germany 1930s. Trump is on the ropes because he was part of the biggest fuck
up of all times w/the outbreak of C-19 and he wants those dumb ass "freedom fighters" out there
raising hell. Hence the red meat Trump throws out to them with his "they want to take away your 2nd
amendment freedoms."

And in the end if the wind up sick and/or dead from C-19 or get shot by law enforcement because they
like to flash their AR-15s as they protest their "oppressors" aka Governors, Mayors, & State Health
Dept. leaders who are trying to fight the virus by the only means at their disposal and that is
shut downs, social distancing, and staying @ home then Trump/Barr/Hannity ... don't give a shit about
these modern day brownshirts they are just a means to an end.

* According to Trump's wife #1 Donald kept a copy of Hitler's speeches by his bed.

... hard to put them all together. If you want to edit it so as to clean up my "clunky writing" and pass
it on please do. I think the germ of the idea behind the post is solid though.

6. Trump is loved because he doesn't like to be told what to do. These clowns are of the same mind.

I still think that is a holdover from childhood, which he obviously still lives in.

Trump also wants "things" put back together so he can hold his rallies. He's running out of time, but is addicted to them. His patience is wearing thin and we'll be the ones to pay for that. Our only saving grace is if these clowns become infected. I wouldn't wish this virus on my worst enemy, but sometimes it's the only way to get a point into their pointy little heads.

on the steps of the state capitol building during a protest, is not peaceful, it is an open threat of violence to the legitimate power, and it has been encouraged by the President.

The president is a criminal.
