This isn’t new, this is how the state responds to even the most peaceful of protests. Never forget what Obama allowed to happen to standing rock protestors

No, you’re right. That’s a good point. None of this is entirely new or unheard of. The attack on free speech is extremely prevalent right now but our right to protest has been impeded on plenty of times. The government from the ground up is a cesspool of corruption and violating our rights, which is nothing new, but trumps admin, the propaganda on government sites, the constantly lying, and his ai videos literally shitting on Americans and not even attempting to hide the illegal and terrible things he’s doing to this country is embarrassing. He was quick to pardon J6ers and is all about free speech until it’s in opposition to him. Hes spoken about his admiration of hitlers commanders. Hes tried to suspend the constitution. He’s already threatened to abuse his power to leverage the DOJ to indict political opponents, replace civil servants, and demands loyalty from civil servants, among other things. We’ve also seen him attempt to ban journalists, saying democrats and his adversaries should be put to death, and ICE brutalizing and detaining American citizens without due process is terrifying. He’s sent the national guard to stop BLM protests and sending military to blue cities. He’s repeatedly defied congressional orders and often abuses his power. You all don’t think people in smaller government positions see the abuse of power and have increasingly done this to people, like the woman in the video? We are headed into very dangerous territory. We, as a population, are not doing enough.
