Trae Crowder has a unique way of explaining shit so clearly at times that it makes my head explode in amazement and awe.
What happened to VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti, and to 37-year old mom of three Renee Good in Minneapolis, I fear, is a sign of troubles to come for the American people if we fail to recognize and confront what Drumpf's ICE invasion is and what ICE's purpose is in the hands of our convicted felon, suspected child rapist president and his corrupt enablers like Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and others.
More importantly, we need to recognize the inherent danger of what ignoring ICE's recent actions in Minneapolis, MN portends for the future of our democracy and freedoms if we cower as a people and capitulate to the kinds of bullying and intimidation tactics being perpetrated by an unwelcome invasion force of masked, armed thugs invading our cities and communities goes unanswered.
I mean, come the fuck on. These goons are behaving exactly as one would expect masked, armed thugs sent by a criminal government to behave.
Do you know what's so ironic about it? When it was King George's red-coat (replaced by Drumpf red hats) thugs behaving just like this 250 or so years ago against American colonists, the colonists eventually stood up and said, "ENOUGH!," and fought back. That's how our250 year-old experiment in democracy got started.
Go read up about what it's like to live in a controlled, surveillance-state society like they have in Russia and China. That is what Drumpf and MAGA have in store for the US. And Drumpf's two biggest money benefactors Elmo and Peter Thiel, who just so happen to also be 'Epstein Files' alumni of the old mobster, are waiting in the wings with their vast wealth and US government contracts given to them by Drumpf to help make it happen.
In China and Russia, masked, armed state security services roam their societies, snatching people off the streets at will, with no warrants, and disappearing them into the bowels of their internal, concentration camp/gulag systems. State security forces thuggery has been a hallmark trait of authoritarian dictatorships since the dawn of their execrable existence.
So what I believe Trae Crowder was getting at in that video is - how is what ICE is doing in cities and communities across our country right now, today, this very minute, any different than what state security goons for hard-line communist countries like China and Russia do on a daily basis to their respective citizenry in their fucked up authoritarian countries?
There is no credible debate here as Crowder says.
It really is a clear-cut matter of good vs. evil that is staring us all in the face.
Acknowledging the reality of it is the first step. Were anyone to ask me personally, I would say that to all but the sunshine patriots, the next step is join the voices in opposition to this administration and their ICE goons policing and make your voices and views known loudly and clearly - just as Alex Pretti and Renee Good were doing in their respective communities on the fateful days they were gunned down by masked ICE agents.
Another effective way to help put an end to this nascent fascist empire in the making is to show up in mass numbers and *VOTE* for anyone - ANYONE - other than a goddamn, cowardly Republican who sucks up to a convicted felon and suspected child rapist.
Treat the Republican party like a colony of lepers. Isolate them. Take their political power away for a generation. They have conclusively shown the world that they do not deserve the power of being gatekeepers and defenders of our 250 year-old democracy.
And that goes especially so for those intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally growth-stunted adults posing as serious legislators in our government who ascribe to the MAGA religion. A vote for a MAGA candidate is literally a vote in favor of burning this country and 250 years of American history and values to the ground and transforming our nation into a theocratic, authoritarian Idiocracy.
