The powers that be need some big terror attacks to drum up that famed American war lust. Get everyone driving around with flags on their cars and a good boogey man to hate. Maybe some fabricated Iranian yellow cake but maybe not that exactly because it's too close to Iraqi yellow cake. Which never existed but why let facts interrupt a good war fervour.

If Trump gets in power, he might just blow up a few churches and have those operatives leave leaflets with "us gays did it!", printed in rainbow colours. The most effective enemy is one that you can say is within the motherland, because you can blame them for everything, including mistakes made within your own political party.

I wish this statement was wholly a bad-taste joke that would never, ever happen.

I think he is simply going to criminalize being a member of the Democrat party, & have "sheriffs" & gangs go hunting them down, in US Civil War Part2, which should begin in total earnest, within 4y of him being put in charge, by the Repubs

( I expect Biden to flub it, no matter what, and Trump's .. psychopathy .. is "improving" ).

just get some popcorn, & wait & see: evidence will speak its truth, in a few months/years, obviously..
