Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Are you saying World Trade Organization protests? I lived in Seattle during that time. I think protesting is good, but this is a takeover of our government. I know that it's giving the fascists what they want, but I do feel defeated this time around. We barely got him out last time and he cheated his way back in legally or he got his minions to do it illegally.
I'm focusing on helping my community members first this time and being a support system to anyone I can. I'm also trying to post media about actual facts and none of the hyperbole that is his firehose of taking over the media.
I don't mean to make you feel bad about this, but our protests weren't that loud over here. Mostly because people convinced the populace that they had WMD's. I was young and stupid and believed in our government.
Have you seen our police force? They have tanks and usually the option to shoot to kill. I know there are some to risk everything to against this regime, but they're not the ones that are going to help the situation. They'll just get mowed down. A financial hit to our economy is the only thing that will wake up the people who will do anything about this. Right now, they think that they're the ones that won't be hurt.
Dude, you're hand waving away some pretty extreme things. Let's say that trump has a heart attack and dies from too many hamberders, it is shit buckets all the way down. There are many countries all over the world that have dictators and didn't/don't know what to do.
Trump causing our economy to shit itself is the only way it's going to be stopped at this point. Later, that won't matter.
I have a pretty damn good idea of what we are up against, and I don’t think violence directly towards the figureheads is going to work. Mainly because of their untouchability
Lower level officials however will start getting their tickets punched if things keep going south with the economy.
It’s all connected to money; healthcare, housing, and food. If the economy takes a hard enough hit, which will happen almost certainly now (trades falling apart and tariff threats create a pretty unpredictable market), there will be more and more people pushed to the brink. Just look at the Republican town hall videos, even their base is being riled up.
There will be violence and a terrible economy in the near future
