"There is an American Gestapo on the ground in Portland. We have secret police in unmarked vans kidnapping protesters and whisking them away to threaten and abuse them. The Trump admin says they plan to increase these tactics nationwide." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
"Some pundits have deemed the Portland tactics 'performative authoritarianism' that Trump does to please FOX viewers. That is NOT the main purpose. The purpose is fascism, plain and simple. This is hurting real people in real time." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
"This is not a trial balloon; it's a grenade. They are trying to eliminate the right to protest. They've released an exec order defining protests on federal activity as 'terrorism'. They also deem protest supporters as terrorists as well." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
"They've indicated the order is retroactive by referring to prior protests. This order mirrors the legal tactics of authoritarian states in which any critic of the government can be labeled a terrorist and rounded up." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
"We warned you in June that this would happen in our @gaslitnation episode called 'Reichstag Fire'": https://twitter.com/sarahkendzior/status/1268185604925403137?s=19
"All of this fascist pageantry that we're seeing in Portland is an extension of what we saw in DC in June. This is who they are. We need to talk about when state terror tactics are used to help steal an election." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
"Congress is enabling an autocratic regime. Dems who try to take action by using inherent contempt, forcing subpoenas, impeaching Barr etc, are stopped by Pelosi. Pelosi, who shared a laugh with Barr at the idea he could ever be arrested." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/american-gestapo-39579643
