Former president tells Glenn Beck he would have ‘no choice’ but to lock up opponents ‘because they’re doing it to us’
Again, this is literal, undeniable, and without hyperbole, fascism.
Faschism 101
Okay, to anyone who actually supports what Trump is saying and thinks it’s okay, let’s break things down.
First of all, I understand you think it’s okay to do, because you think it’s already being done by Democrats. But regardless of who started it, by saying it’s okay for Trump to do this you are also saying it’s okay for anyone else to do this. Because, if it’s a good thing to do, then it must be a good thing to do by someone you don’t like. If it’s okay to jail a political opponent, then it must be okay to be jailed for being a political opponent, right?
Let’s shift gears here. It’s okay for Trump to unilaterally jail political opponents without due process because you believe Democrats are already doing it to Trump (despite literally going through due process right now). If Democrats really wielded this type of power with as much evil intent as you think, then they would give up the appearance of pretense right? Exactly how Trump is boasting he would do? Wouldn’t it just be easier to throw Trump in a dark hole and forget about him? Not have to worry about all those pesky laws getting in the way?
Here’s a simple challenge to see if something should or should not be done: If the other side did it, would it be a bad thing? If yes, then it should not be done.
“They started hitting me first. So I hit back”
You:
First of all, I understand you think it’s okay to do, because you think it’s already being done by aggressors. But regardless of who started it, by saying it’s okay for self-defenders to do this you are also saying it’s okay for anyone else to do this. Because, if it’s a good thing to do, then it must be a good thing to do by someone you don’t like.
Your argument has no merit if this were an actual self-defense situation. Which Trump’s followers believe it is. So you’d need to argue that it isn’t a self-defense situation. Your argument wins no one over who needs to be won over.

Or, hear me out, we vote for Biden, you lose, and spend the rest of your shitty life behind bars for your crimes against the American people and the world.
I’m not saying he sounds like Hitler but if das boot fits.

Do you think… Do you think there’s even a light bulb in there any more? Clearly the lights are not on but I think someone has just run off with the copper in the walls at this point.
it’s not the wiring in his head that I’m worried by.
is there anything resembling neural activity happening in the people who vote for him?
The fall of American democracy has tiny hands’ finger prints all over it.
He vowed that last time.
For a guy who said he wanted law and order and that you cat have a nation without laws, he sure is upset that we’re getting law and order and enforcing the laws.

Judging from the speed with which he locked up Clinton, a central promise of his 2016 rallies, no-one needs to worry about this.
I feel like there was a chant and everything. Something about “send her to prison” or whatnot.
He says an awful lot of stuff. None of it is worth listening to.
