Is anybody surprised by a Trump confidant saying "round up the Muslims"?

[goaded]

Plundering the country, starting wars, rounding up the innocent. Definitely not fascist behaviour at all.

"Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis; (2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work."

You keep talking about this as if republicans aren’t still going to vote for more fascist-like republicans even after trump’s presidency because we live in a really shitty two-party system and no matter who’s running against them, hell it could be Jesus Christ himself running as a democrat, they would still vote for the republican because they consider them the lesser evil every time.

[goaded]

I can't see Jesus running as a Republican! No, a large proportion aren't going to change their minds, even when they see the effects of their choice, but some might, and others will finally vote out of disgust.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Nope. Not surprised at all. They are trying to suppress minority groups in the US from non Christians, LGBT, and those that are here that are not white so his sycophants are here to echo that message so that they can get in on the grift. It truly is a cult and fascists combined.

[lightbulb27]

no, that's a response to the real risk of attacks within USA.

More likely they will wait until there's one or more serious attacks by extremists, Americans die by gun, bomb... tunnel collapse. The more horrific it is, the quickly the change is made.

Otherwise, they won't do it.

[goaded]

Do you think the chance of "real risk of attacks within USA" has gone up or down in the last few days?

[lightbulb27]

up given we started a shooting war. but can't say for sure what it was before.

[goaded]

Probably down, since you hadn't.

[Shiprex]

His cult will LOVE this kind of talk,

[goaded]

They love it on here alright (or deny they know anything about her).

[Shiprex]

So predictable

[Shiprex]

Thanks for the MHO @goaded

[Berethor]

The Communist China sure knows how to deal with Islam, Trump is not doing that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

[goaded]

Clearly they'd like to. Do you really want America to be like China?

[Berethor]

Better China than Iran, you saw how many Protesters did the Iranian Regime killed?

[goaded]

What is it with the right when they claim that because you don't think someone should be murdered or locked up without a hearing you must love them? ↗

[OneViewpoint]

I'd rather round up MAGA, the Klan, the 3% Brain Function, the Proud Toddlers, and the Oaf Creepers. I'm thinking leaky prison ships in the middle of the southern Pacific ocean.

[jshm2]

Lol, plastic Loomer is hardly someone to talk.

[TabascoJohn]

Who cares? Whatever she said I'm sure you took it out of context.

[goaded]

Are you now?

[TabascoJohn]

Yes, do you remember the fake news about a Muslim ban? They lied.

[goaded]

I quoted her entire tweet, how could that possibly be taking it "out of context"?

[TabascoJohn]

Trump asked the doctor if bleach could help kill the covered virus. Do you remember what you fruit loops did with that? 😂

[goaded]

Again, how is quoting an entire tweet taking it "out of context"?

[TabascoJohn]

She said she's going to round up the Muslims right?

Does she mean she's going to take them to a matinee and buy them lunch?

Can't you see how you're creating your own reality?

[goaded]

Can't you see how you're creating your own reality?

[TabascoJohn]

When she said she's going to round up the Muslims, was that a good thing or a bad thing?

[TabascoJohn]

Husband: "Honey why don't you round up the kids, I'm going to go put the stuff in the car."

And your make-believe reality what's going to happen to the kids? Is it something bad?

[goaded]

Can't you see how you're creating your own reality?

[TabascoJohn]

What happens to the Muslims once you get rounded up?

[goaded]

Are you really pretending they'd be being rounded up for their benefit? Can't you see how you're creating your own reality?

[TabascoJohn]

You're clinging to a screenshot that does not say what's going to happen. You tell me who's creating their own reality.

[goaded]

The question is "Is anybody surprised by a Trump confidant saying "round up the Muslims"?"
The screenshot is a Trump confidant saying exactly that. Is this really so hard to understand?

[TabascoJohn]

I'm going to assume she's rounding them up for good reasons.
You really should have laid this question out better.

[goaded]

Why would you assume that? Would you assume the same if it had been "Jews", "MAGAs", "Japs", "Niggers", "Wops", or any other group?

[TabascoJohn]

Are you telling me I can't assume, but you can assume? 🤔

Do you want me to do some research and try and find out what that lady was talking about when she talked about rounding up Muslims?
I'll let you know the results so you can post it in an update so people can understand your question.

[goaded]

Sure, finally do some research into the "American far-right political activist, conspiracy theorist, and internet personality.", who worked for "Project Veritas, the Geller Report, Rebel News, and InfoWars", a self-described "pro-white nationalist" and a "proud Islamophobe", and tell me she meant to take all the rounded up Muslims to a nice cup of tea and cake.

[TabascoJohn]

All right I'll try and figure it out for you because you can't seem to find it.

[douride2]

It really shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Concentration camps and genocide, next stops !!!

[goaded]

Being built, as we speak.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I know. The Mustachioed Madman is looking up from H**l nd giving a thumbs-up !!!

[NathanDavis]

did she mean Saudi Arabia...

[exitseven]

whoi is laura loomer?

[goaded]

One of Trump's closest advisors. Reportedly "Loomer influenced President Trump to dismiss more than half a dozen national security officials due to her suspicions of their disloyalty to him and advocated for additional firings."

[exitseven]

Why has she neve been menioned before

How is it that she has never ben mentioned before. ? I never heard of her.

[goaded]

What do you think about Laura Loomer saying that alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals? ↗
Laura Loomer (basically eva braun) thought the Super Bowl halftime show wasn’t ‘white enough’. Are you sad for her? ↗

[goaded]

Are Trump and Laura Loomer fucking? ↗

Oh, look, someone said: "No, they are not. She is not on his payroll and she has no official standing in his organization. She is just a concerned citizen. The press makes her out to be a conspiracy theorist. They call everyone e they disagree with a conspiracy y theorist."

You knew all about her then!

[exitseven]

this looks fishy to me.

[goaded]

That was you defending her, you know that, right?

[exitseven]

@goaded there are so many outlandish stories that the fake news pushes about Trump, who can keep track of them all?

[goaded]

Outlandish, but mostly true. Like selling pardons, putting the money from the sale of Venezuelan oil into an offshore bank account controlled by himself, being accused of assaulting a 13 year old, using the DoJ to attack people he's decided are his enemies but were often simply doing their jobs...

[exitseven]

Yes exactly. but a lot of people believe it. I do not know if the are just stupid or they hate Trump so much that they want it to be true.

[goaded]

That list is all true. Trump is essentially selling pardons for "donations", he put the money from the sale of Venezuelan oil into an offshore bank account controlled by himself, he has been accused of assaulting a 13 year old, and he's obviously using the DoJ to attack people he's decided are his enemies but were often simply doing their jobs.

That final one, for example, is amply proven by all the attempted indictments that were rejected by grand juries for lack of probably cause.

[exitseven]

All crazy talk by the fake news. Not one shred of proof has been shown. CNN is one step away from the auction block. Ted Turner would be sick if he knew what i has turned into ,

[goaded]

Is explaining the UCMJ, specifically that it's the duty of the military to disobey UNLAWFUL orders, a crime? Trump tried to have people indicted for it, the citizens who were the bulwark against government overreach said no.

[exitseven]

@goaded That is not what Court-martial Kelly and the other traitors said. They said nothing about unlawful order, they inferred that any order given by the Commander in Chief should be disobeyed. They made sure to stay just within the law.

[goaded]

Who are you going to believe, Trump, or your lying ears? (You don't have to answer that, it's clearly Trump.) If they stayed within the law, why was the DoJ trying to indict them? Why did it take a grand jury of citizens to push back against that government overreach?

Here's the transcript.
"SEN. MARK KELLY (D-AZ): You can refuse illegal orders.

SEN. ELISSA SLOTKIN (D-MI): You can refuse illegal orders.

REP. CHRIS DELUZIO (D-PA): You must refuse illegal orders.

SLOTKIN: No one has to carry out orders that violate the law...

REP. CHRISSY HOULAHAN (D-PA): ... or our Constitution.

REP. JASON CROW (D-CO): We know this is hard...

KELLY: ... and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.

SLOTKIN: But whether you're serving in the CIA...

CROW: ... in the Army...

DELUZIO: ... or Navy...

HOULAHAN: ... the Air Force...

KELLY: ... your vigilance is critical.

SLOTKIN: And know that we have your back.

CROW: Because now, more than ever...

HOULAHAN: The American people need you.

SLOTKIN: We need you to stand up for our laws...

DELUZIO: ... our Constitution...

KELLY: And who we are as Americans. Don't give up.

DELUZIO: Don't give up.

CROW: Don't give up.

SLOTKIN: Don't give up the ship."
