It’s going to get violent at some point. This is not an America I know and love. Democrats need to fight dirty just like the Republicans or we will not have a democracy.

There need to be multiple governors , senators and congress men and women doing what Gavin’s doing. I’d like to know who these ICE Thugs are? Is the money worth Destroying your country? How can you treat these people so brutally? You are going against the Constitution and everything this country values. KARMA

Neither the Congress, the DOJ, nor the Supreme Court have stood up against these thugs.

How do you think the violence starts? Like it is in DC now? Or is this not enough to call it violence? Do you see any armed people counter attacking? I think violence is here and people are getting used to it because that is their only action option unless you want to risk your life. Pam Blondie will be happy to kill you and reward the shooter. So how do you see the violence happening?

True. But the ICE agents behavior will escalate violence.

Just the way they hope it works.

Violence is what t-Rump and the republi-Nazi's want. It opens the door to declaration of martial law. Sending in the military wasn't to support the ICE-stapo. It is an escalation.

There’s no option left but to fight dirty. Leadership is leaving is unprotected and alone. If the corporate donors are going to come down and fight with us, that’s fine but right now the whole party structure is useless and likely an added weight on our backs!

As kids we are told by “Officer Friendly” types who come in to our classrooms to never go with someone you don’t know and to scream and fight to get away from anyone trying to grab you from off the street. Now we are supposed to just go willingly with any fat man in camo?

Fuck that. If anyone were to grab me I’d kill them.

I think this is just the beginning it’s gonna get worse especially closer to 2028. I sincerely hope the Dems take back the house & senate in 2026 or we will be in real trouble of losing our democracy.

Eventually, people are going to start fighting back. That will be bad news for Trump's Gestapo.

The beginning of the plan to make blue cities so militarized that when he decides to prevent voting it will work. MAGATS are still happy with Donnie and he is not going to stop until he has to. Unfortunately only an election can stop anything. This country is full of MAGATS and people who are not MAGATS. A fair fight is not going to happen. The not MAGAT people need to become politically armed and dangerous or kiss the whole thing good fukin bye. Yes, I am debbie downer telling the truth.

This is not how we do things in normal America. These thugs need to know that at some point they will pay for their actions. And it will not be a slap on the wrist. They better hope we still have due process when the shit hits their fan.

Dems are their way to losing due to rigged elections. When they lose there will be no fixing. Only more of the same. MAGATS did this. Crush MAGATS!

And the thugs that are implementing this violence, the architects of 2025. It is not just Trump. He’s not smart enough to think of this all on his own. There are many on the billionaire side making this happen.

Yes, donnie is an ego maniacal puppet performing Project 2025. And yes billionaires are the puppet masters as well as the beneficiaries. Wealthy White Men are a class of men who are the single most toxic, dangerous, destructive force on the planet today. They are the drivers of climate denial, corruption denial and evil denial.

You say truth that many won't want to hear. I do. Privileged, top-of-our-food-chain,entitled ones have lost their any moral compass. They will do ANYthing to keep power and encourage suffering.

These are not police officers performing law enforcement duties. They are arrogant masked thugs empowered by sociopaths in the Trump administration to be as violent and thuggish as they want. They are enjoying the power and the extra money. Healthy law enforcement agencies would screen these people out.

We are now a banana republic. When your taxes pay for a masked jackbooted thug to attack our citizens, we are now Argentina or Chili in the 70s and 80s. We watch in horror; we talk about it on social media, we protest, but we are not stopping it because the Republicans are in control of all reins of power and our judicial system is subservient to the Trump Regime. We need an actual revolution, and our country is not ready to go there because it will require a sacrifice that as a country, I do not see us giving. I hate violence but it may take violence. It may take giving up buying stuff if we do a general strike, which would also make the Republican MAGA party feel some pain, but I am not sure that will happen because we do like to buy stuff. Otherwise, we can just watch it happen and live our lives under a fascist leadership with the expectation that women are necessary to make babies, but they need to stay home and not expect any rights. that once they take enough brown people, they will go after black people and then they may need to go after Democrats who are asking to many questions, maybe even white male democrats. I don't have answers, but I do know for sure that what we are doing now is not working.

One of these days someone, somewhere, will shoot an ICE agent.

And who could blame them? Masked men with no ID show up with no warrant and grab you.

Women are being raped by men claiming to be ICE.

Maybe they ARE ICE. I wouldn’t put it past these bastards.
