The promise made was that they were going after "bad people", e.g., murderers, rapists, etc. I don't think many people have a problem with that.

But that's not who they're going after, it's everybody, with a focus on ethnic cleansing. It is no longer hyperbole to compare what's happening now to Germany in the 1930's.



Agreed. They've made it quite clear that they intend to label any dissent or protest as terrorism and use force to suppress it. I don't see how the situation will improve. Perhaps if the 3.5% rule holds true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_rule

This is not yet something most Americans have caught onto. The DHS made a tweet fantasizing about deporting 100 million Americans (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dhs-100-million-deportations-...) - which is roughly what deporting all non white people would look like. And Elon Musk posts white supremacist content daily - and I mean this literally. For example he called for “white solidarity” (https://people.com/elon-musk-shares-startling-post-endorsing...) and has also repeatedly called for remigration which is literally defined as “ethnic cleansing” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration).

The Nazis also ruined the swastika for everyone, even the innocent "good" one that goes the other way and isn't tilted on the corner.


Sure. Solidarity as a whole is even better.


The promise that was made was to go after the type of people you described - first. Not to stop after them.
