Just a couple months ago, fully armed citizens screaming about their rights stormed state buildings with the full throated support of the President...No federal interference or militarized federal police were brought in...yet peaceful protesters in Portland, singing, chanting and using their First Amendment Rights have had #FascistTrump’s secret police beat on them and had them and haul them away...None of these 2nd Amendment gun nuts are standing up for the rest of the country’s 1st Amendment rights...Trump and they made it clear, they only think the 1st Amendment is for traitors who wave Nazi and Confederate flags.
....
...
Stand up for Black Lives Matter, equality, basic human rights...and there is no support from the federal government...You are greeted with violence....

This is what all this is about....The guy screaming about ANTIFA, which means ANTI-Fascist...Is a fascist!
The 14 characteristics of Fascism are, as written by Political Scientist, Dr. Lawrence Britt
- Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. - Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. - Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. - Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. - Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy. - Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. - Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. - Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. - Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. - Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed . - Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. - Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. - Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. - Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
We have seen all of these things from the Trump Administration...We being the people paying attention and not carrying traitor flags...Read through it again...Think...This is the playbook the Trump Administration and campaign are using...
The fact that a report came out today that Trump's appointed Post Master General is planning on slowing down Postal Service.... This is just another sign...You ask how? Trump and many of his inner circle often vote by mail...Yet they are fighting states that allow it or want to allow it for the upcoming election...Slow down the postal service, limiting the days carriers are out, limiting how much moves each day, fucks with mail in voting...
He wants to control us...He wants to silence any voices that speak out against him...He wants to silence the voices that screaming against systemic racisms that his family and so many others profited from...
He wants to control us...He wants to silence any voices that speak out against him...He wants to silence the voices that screaming against systemic racisms that his family and so many others profited from...

Right now, every city needs to rise up, like Portland....
I love you Portland!
