Crazy to think that is where all this is headed.

To remind everyone, we are less than 3 months into a 4 year term.

Yeah people are like “you are all overreacting!” He sent innocent people to a foreign torture sweatshop prison and crashed the economy in three months. He’s set to get a response on his executive order to declare martial law the 20th. The worst is yet to come and we have a loooooong journey to go.

People acting like he’s done with just the current flagrant constitutional crisis and economic disaster.

This is what I don't get. I have had this kind of conversation and so many people are like "well you are overreacting, lets just see how it plays out". They do not understand that the train just crested the mountain and there are NO brakes. Unless a lot of the republicans in power (and voters) wake up real soon, like days/weeks not months, I think US is screwed and will eventually wind up in one of these scenarios.

Its to the point where I do not feel it's insane for anyone and everyone to start prepping now while supplies are still relatively easy to get.

He gave unprecedented power to a Nazi who gave not one but two massive Heil Hitlers on the world stage on inauguration day from behind the seal of the POTUS. I perceived that as a death threat. I'm preparing accordingly. So yeah, bring it on.
