Do I need to fear for my life because some of you refuse to vote for Biden? Trump is talking about prosecuting opponents; Bill Barr said Trump often spoke of executing rivals, and some of Trump's advisors talk of executing journalists.

I'm an old(or), white man fighting for the rights of women, people of color and the LGBTQ community. I'm vocal. If Trump wins, is my freedom or life in danger?

You are free to be upset at Biden over his policies, but PLEASE don't ignore what this election means.

@augieray Yes, as all of these rivals he executed 2017-2021...

@Apan Except people have said he TALKED about executing rivals. His lawyers were just in court suggesting the president could execute Americans and not face legal consequences. And some of his advisors are actively talking about imprisoning or executing people they don't like. Do you think a second Trump term will ONLY be as bad as first?

@augieray By people you mean Bill Barr and leaving out the fact that the same source also at no point in time belived that those words serious.Out of context for the sake of political points....

@Apan And I see you are ignoring the things Trump is saying, the contents of Project 2025, and the words of his lawyers in trying to claim immunity from such actions. So, I'm blocking you. You want to argue, not have an actual dialog about the risks of a second Trump term.

@augieray @Apan Well, if #Scotus finds a way to grant old big smelly #Trump immunity from everything, Trump, if he wins, will do whatever he likes which may include firing squads and concentration camps. Very #hitler, very #nazi. Such is Trump.

@alexproe @augieray If scotus rules the president gains immunity against everything then that would apply to Biden as well. Wouldn't it? Then he can do whatever he wants.

@alexproe @augieray Guess we will ser how it turns out. I doubt that neither Trump not Bodens gonna go down some sort of dicatorship. But i'll guess the first thing a dicator would do is to would disarm the people and ban free speech.

@Apan @augieray Trump has been stating that he would be a dictator from day one. Now this could just be rhetoric, then again, Trump seems to like the idea of being able to do what he likes so anything is possible. Seems the ultra conservatives want a puppet dictator too 😉

@Apan @augieray I think this might be why #Scotus is dragging its feet on the immunity issue. The court might, if it can, wait until Trump has been reelected before deciding the immunity issue.
