Can you imagine highly armed protestors openly demonstrating against government public health regulations, with the support of the President of the United States? Can you imagine how the piggies would be squealing if this had happened in the Obama Administration, and with his full support? Hell, when unarmed hippies camped out on Wall Street during the Occupy movement the right had a shit-fit.

Kristalnacht and the Reichstag Fire can’t be that far off. We’ve already got Brownshirts, even if they do wear cammies. And wear red hats instead of swastikas.

Go ahead, tell me this is not fascism. Tell me, I want to hear you say so openly, in public, in front of people you know.

Go ahead, tell me about Godwin’s Law. Tell me, I dare you. Not even Godwin believes it any more.
