So you think genocide could never happen in America?
This is worryingly too close to the mark:
Given whats happening today, it might be a good idea to keep one eye on this list. Keep in mind the process which turns democracy into autocracy, tyranny, and genocide is usually not a short one. Genocide most often arrives, not after powerful, sweeping blows from a sledgehammer, but from the patient nibbling at the margins from rubber mallets over a long period of time.

Conservative radio host: Liberals who harass Trump officials are 'going to be put in a box'
Giving the example of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi being confronted by protesters, Deagle declared that in addition to using pepper spray, he would have whipped out my concealed carry permit gun and I would have blown them away and put them in a box.
They need to understand the right is not going to be shouted down, he said. [If] they continue to think they are going to harass the right, these people need to understand theyre not going to have a bad day, theyre going to die.
When Deagles guest and fellow right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein referred to Maxine Waters recent call for progressives to publicly confront Trump administration officials, Deagle reiterated his threat to kill, saying he would haul out a weapon and I would blow him away, hit him in the center of the body to make sure he didnt have time to go to the I.C.U. or have a trauma surgeon [save him], hed be dead on the spot.
People need to start realizing theyre going to get a lot more than they bargained for if they want to harass us, supporters of Donald Trump and conservatism, Deagle continued. Theyre not going to get just a little helter skelter and yelling theyre going to get death.

A rally in Portland, Oregon organized by Joey Gibson, who is running for U.S. Senate as a Republican in Washington state was declared a riot on Saturday night, the Oregonian reports.
Gibson is an extremists who holds free speech rallies to provoke Antifa and other leftists. Todays event, held near the site of the family-friendly rally opposing President Trumps immigration policies devolved after police told everyone to go home.
In a video posted by independent journalist Mike Bivins, one of the right-wingers appears to throw a heavy metal trash trash can lid at a what appears to be a much smaller woman.
