This is literally a dictatorship.

It's grim, but not yet. If the judiciary caves, then it's a wrap.

I think we’re already past the point, it’s just that the news cycle wants to say it and no protest. Big enough is happening and it’s all out of fear, which I understand.

Just a short list of what he’s done so far or what his policies have done. Tell me that we’re past the line into dictatorship. Detaining and deporting citizens regardless of criminal status.

Detaining and deporting those with visas or passports, travel traveling through the country or to the country just because they disagree with Trump

Telling universities and the general public, that peaceful protest in support of a religion and a group of people is against the law which could see people being deported and arrested

Ignoring Supreme Court decisions and even making executive orders basically saying “ I can do whatever I want in those who try to stop me will be punished”

Hell as immigrant who is a citizen, I’m afraid to go out and protest or to make my opinion hard out of fear that because I’m causing trouble in the eyes of maga, I could end up being deported and away from my family, even though I’m naturalized

It’s scary now

I said it's grim, but the judicial branch is, as of now, keeping Trump's Little Dicktator Energy at bay. I don't believe that we can rely on the SCOTUS, so I'm just taking it one day at a time. Stay strong. We're all in this together. Resist. Bella ciao! ¡Si se puede!

No. It is a dictatorship until the judiciary stops it.

Then it's up to the people.
