Scale and intent: The Gestapo enforced a totalitarian regime, committed genocide, and worked outside any ethical framework. ICE, despite its excesses, operated within a constitutional democracy.

Resistance and visibility: ICE faces ongoing resistance from U.S. courts, media, advocacy groups, and whistleblowers. The Gestapo operated with near-total impunity.

Oh, how sweet it is to perch atop the rubble of bad decisions and crow, "I told you so!" For years, we warned you—yes, you, with your rose-tinted glasses and stubborn faith in quick fixes. You ignored the signs, dismissed the skeptics, and barreled headfirst into chaos. And now? Here we are, wading through the wreckage of your "it’ll all work out" optimism.

He is doing it again, he tried it in Los Angeles and was pushed back. He was swamped with No King protests and changed the subject, deflection 101. He let it cool down. You have to remember that Trump relies on the proven two week rule. That we have an attention span that's less than two weeks, and we are stupid.

Trump has repeatedly declared he is the smartest man in the room and in his words. "They don't know what the fuck they are doing" and you thought he was talking about the Middle East.

D.C. is unique — it’s not a state, so Congress already has extraordinary oversight powers. That makes it a tempting testing ground for executive overreach. If a president successfully assumes direct operational control of its government or police under the banner of “restoring order,” it could set a precedent for similar moves elsewhere, especially in Democrat-led cities.

The risk here isn’t just what happens to D.C. — it’s the potential for a proof of concept for federalized policing or even quasi-martial law in targeted regions. If crime statistics are manipulated or selectively publicized, he could manufacture justification for interventions in other cities by declaring them “failed” or “in insurrection.” Michael, Sarah and Emma Walker The Middle of the Road @purple man channel

RFK Jr. is a master of half-truths—statements that contain just enough kernel of reality to confuse the public and just enough innuendo to suggest shadowy forces at work. He constantly positions himself as the last honest man standing, the one voice willing to speak “what others won’t.” But his rhetoric is not grounded in evidence—it’s grounded in performance.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has built his entire campaign on one central appeal: “I don’t trust them, and you shouldn’t either.” Them, of course, being the government, the media, public health officials, scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and in some cases even common sense. It’s a seductive narrative. It gives people permission to throw away anything that makes them uncomfortable — and label it a lie.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was once a respected environmental attorney and activist. But today, he’s better known for something else: a steady stream of anti-science rhetoric dressed in the language of rebellion and “truth-telling.” What began as skepticism has now hardened into dogma — and the consequences are not harmless. They’re deadly.

RFK Jr. has no medical degree, no epidemiological credentials, and no experience treating illness — yet he presents himself as a public health expert, urging millions to ignore doctors, scientists, and regulatory agencies in favor of his own conspiratorial worldview. And it’s working. His brand is thriving. He’s become a symbol for those who distrust institutions — not because he’s offering real answers, but because he’s selling fear.
