Sounds good, because once it sinks into Trump's brain that his "genius" behavior is actually threatening his power he'll turn to mass repression in a heartbeat.

No duh! A US citizen can literately be gunned down in the streets by a Government agent for mere suspicion. No warrant no cause. How is this freedom?

Wow. So the example they gave has to do with not allowing protestors to be violent or protest outside of what the law allows. The right to protest does NOT give people the right to protest with force or squatting on property they don't own. Even sit-ins are illegal but as long as they are completely passive, typically the law lets it go on for a time. Sorry, but no matter how much spin you put on it doesn't make that any less true, at least under America's laws. The people America has gone after are not peaceful protestors following the law. You can't argue that. You can't say it's not true. It's reality. Accept it.

And what's even funnier about this is that, so far, nobody has been able to provide ANY evidence of freedoms or civil liberties being taken away from the masses. In other words, everyone has the same rights and freedoms. Now, what you CAN provide evidence of are special interest groups trying to get rights for their groups that other groups don't have, like trans people wanting to be able to compete as whatever gender they feel like (if I'm not trans, I don't have that right so actually MY civil rights are being infringed). And that is wrong on so many levels and it's sad Dems are supporting it. But, the fact still stands there are no laws or pressures being put on people that removes rights from them that doesn't remove rights from others.

Well, when you can prove this ever happened, then maybe you have a case. Unfortunately, all you can prove is that there is context you don't like in cases where something similar happens and you want to ignore any evidence that doesn't agree with your narrative. This kind of partisanship is killing this country solely because people like you make that kind of false statement and it spreads, just like what Trump is doing. In other words, you are no better than Trump and that's just sad.
