Be Ready For Night Raids Against Protest Movement W/Trump In Office.

In this fact free environment the Trump presidency makes aggressive repression possible. If you look at even the slightest criticism of Trump you get a hysterical mean over the top backlash. It is like beating a child for spilt milk. We are dealing with a new reality. The GOP in power means that they will be brutal and far reaching if you go against them.

If you watch what they are doing in Congress it is a wonder that they have not locked the Democrats out of Congress and told them NOT to come they are not needed. I just do no believe that we realize how brutal the GOP is these days.

But that doesn't mean this bunch won't make the past look like a Sunday School social in comparison.

It was not covered very much but police authorities showed up at places where organizers lived and seized computers and did searches of the premises. There was a concerted effort to dismantle the movement. The code and rhetoric I hear is that it is possible that individuals who are organizers of protest could be targeted for special treatment.

O'Keefe was even trying to hire people to riot at the inauguration and try to blame protesters. Even now you hear rumblings about protesters being anarchists and communists and thugs. I hope I am wrong but I do expect there will be backlash against ANY protests. We are facing a very different the in this country.

We will be in a new abnormal own the US once Trump is POTUS. People voted for change, but they won't get the change they expect.
